WHEREAS, Collegiate and alumnae members of the Delta Sigma
Theta Sorority are gathering in Austin on April 8, 2013, to mark Red
and White Day, a day of advocacy and action, at the State Capitol;
and
WHEREAS, The Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was initiated in 1913
at Howard University in Washington, D.C.; the 22 original members
included four young women from Texas, Zephyr Chisom Carter, Jessie
McGuire Dent, Frederica Chase Dodd, and Myra Davis Hemmings, all
committed to academic excellence and social change; members marched
in a women's suffrage parade soon after, and they incorporated as a
national organization in 1930; and
WHEREAS, Today, the sorority has a membership of more than
250,000 women in the United States and several foreign countries,
organized into about 1,000 chapters, including over 250 in the Lone
Star State; members work toward positive change in their
communities and advocate for economic development, international
awareness, physical and mental health, and improved education;
moreover, they mentor at-risk African American girls, conduct voter
awareness drives, host political forums, and help guide and inform
public policy; and
WHEREAS, The women of Delta Sigma Theta have enriched the
State of Texas and the nation with their generosity and their wide
array of programs and services, and it is indeed a pleasure to
commend them for their noteworthy endeavors; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby recognize April 8, 2013, as Red and White Day at
the State Capitol and extend to all those involved with the Delta
Sigma Theta Sorority sincere best wishes for continued success with
their important work; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the sorority as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
