DELTA NATIONAL NEWS

A Note from our National President
Cynthia M.A. Butler-McIntyre
In 1913, when our nation was rife with racial discrimination and gender inequality, twenty-two courageous young women on the campus of Howard University were armed with a vision of sisterhood, scholarship and service. These women joined forces to provide support to the underserved; educate and stimulate participation in the establishment of positive public policy; and to highlight issues and provide effective solutions for issues impacting the black community.

What began as a vision shared by these twenty-two bold and ambitious students, has paved the way for what has become the single largest African-American women’s organization in this country. [more]
