A senate RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE AND HONOR THE COLUMBIA (SC) ALUMNAE 
CHAPTER OF DELTA SIGMA THETA SORORITY INC. FOR ITS OUTSTANDING RECORD OF 
EIGHTY-FIVE YEARS OF SERVICE, ADVOCACY, AND CIVIC LEADERSHIP IN THE MIDLANDS OF 
SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, since its 
chartering in 1940, the Columbia (SC) alumnae chapter of Delta Sigma Theta 
Sorority Inc. has served more than eight decades as a vital force in advancing 
the social, civic, and educational development of the citizens of Columbia and 
the greater Midlands community; and

Whereas, the Columbia 
(SC) alumnae chapter has long exemplified the sorority's commitment to 
political awareness and involvement, one of its five-point programmatic 
thrusts, by creating platforms for education, engagement, and action on issues 
impacting residents and families; and

Whereas, through annual 
events such as Delta Day at the Capitol, members of the Columbia (SC) alumnae 
chapter and fellow Deltas from across the State of South Carolina come together 
to meet with legislators, share community concerns, and participate in meaningful 
dialogue that strengthens the bridge between citizens and their elected 
representatives; and

Whereas, the chapter's 
consistent engagement with the legislative process reflects its belief that 
democracy works best when the voices of all citizens are heard. That consistent 
engagement also reflects the chapter's belief that civic participation is both 
a right and a responsibility; and

Whereas, the Columbia 
(SC) alumnae chapter is to be commended for its leadership in educating 
citizens about public policy, encouraging voter participation, and helping 
residents understand how government decisions affect their daily lives; and

Whereas, ultimately, 
organizations like the Columbia (SC) alumnae chapter of Delta Sigma Theta 
Sorority Inc. play an indispensable role in connecting people to government, 
empowering voices that have historically gone unheard, and reminding us all 
that progress depends on partnership, compassion, and action. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the 
South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, 
congratulate and honor the Columbia (SC) alumnae chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority 
Inc. for its outstanding record of eighty-five years of service, advocacy, and 
civic leadership in the Midlands of South Carolina.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Columbia (SC) alumnae 
chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.
