Welcome to the website of the Lansing Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.! It is my honor and privilege to serve as President of the Lansing Alumnae Chapter.

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated was founded on January 13, 1913, by 22 collegiate women at Howard University to promote academic excellence and provide assistance to those in need. The Founders of Delta Sigma Theta envisioned an organization committed to sisterhood, scholarship, service, and addressing the social issues of the time. Since its founding, Delta Sigma Theta has become one of the preeminent service-based sororities, with more than 350,000 initiated members and over 1,050 chartered chapters worldwide.

The Lansing Alumnae Chapter was chartered on March 20, 1960, by 12 women who were dedicated and determined to make an impact in the community. Our chapter serves the communities of Lansing, East Lansing, Grand Ledge, Haslett, Jackson, Mason, Okemos, Williamston, Holt, and DeWitt.

As we reflect on the rich history of the Lansing Alumnae Chapter, we honor the twelve visionary women whose courage, commitment, and leadership made our chapter possible. Our charter members are Wilbert Atwood, Hortense Canady, who later served as the 18th National President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Audrey Cross, Shirley Davis, Yvonne Duncan, Helen Gentry, Opal Isabell, Phoebe Layton, Margaret Lewis, Callie Plummer, Helen Pointer, and Yvonne Simms.

Our chapter is proud to serve the surrounding communities through a variety of programs and initiatives centered on the Sorority’s Five-Point Programmatic Thrust:
