The Five Point Thrust

The Delta Sigma Theta membership encompasses a widespread of public service programs. Some of the featured programs of the Mobile Alumnae Chapter include but is certainly not limited to the following based on our national Five Point Thrust: 
 

Educational Development
Educational Development encompasses many exceptional programs designed to enhance the career and academic development of our youth. This may also take on the form of scholarships for college preparation, academic workshops and mentoring. Members of the Mobile Alumnae Chapter volunteer countless hours to mentor our youth. This includes serving as as career day speakers and role models in which they share their personal triumphs and achievements in their professional fields.

The Betty Shabazz Delta Academy focuses on middle school girls engaging in math, science experiences and technology, self esteem workshops, and community service, thus preparing leaders for the 21st century.

Our Delteens are high school seniors who participate in self-esteem and etiquette workshops, college preparation and tours, cultural events, career workshops, mentoring and the culminating activity, the Kaleidoscope.

 

 

Economic Development
Mobile Alumnae’s “Ways and Means” Committee is the financial back bearer of our chapter. They conduct all chapter fundraisers, plan workshops in financial planning, investments, and home ownership. In addition, Mobile Alumnae supports our nationally sponsored program, Delta Research and Educational Foundation (DREF), a 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation designed to help strengthen and expand the charitable, educational, scientific programs of Delta Sigma Theta as well as organizations featuring similar goals.

Each month Financial Fortitude Workshops are conducted to address the aspects of personal finances and planning beginning with a Smart Money Education Program. We learn how to define goals, develop a plan to achieve our goals and then learn how to put the plan into action.


International Awareness and Involvement

In 1955, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. funded the maternity wing of the Thika Memorial Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa now called the Mary Sick of the Mission Hospital. Mobile Alumnae has supported our national effort to assist with funds used for equipment, property maintenance, program expansion and the training of practical nurses and midwives. The addition of the maternity wing in Kenya has resulted in a decrease in maternal deaths and infant mortality.  Read more about this great initiative at our national website.


 Political Awareness and Involvement  

The Political Action Committee (PAC) of the Mobile Alumnae Chapter sponsor voter registration drives to increase the number of voters in our communities and supports efforts such as Operation Sister Vote.  Each year, members of the PAC spearhead our participation in Delta Days at the State Capitol in Montgomery, AL and  Delta Days at the Nation's Capitol in Washington, DC to monitor elections, public policies, and laws affecting our African American communities.

Mobile Alumnae participated in the Mobilization to Montgomery along with Rev. Jesse Jackson and Dr. Yvonne Kennedy to support the full restoration of voting rights for individuals who have paid their debt to society.


Mental and Physical Health

Our chapter supports our sorority's national efforts to provide health education programs to prevent at risk-behaviors and to promote healthy lifestyles Mobile Alumnae is also one of the proud sponsors of the Ebony Fashion Fair which brings attention to Sickle Cell epidemic which largely affects our African American communities. We are proud to join in our national initiative to educate and facilitate lifestyle change for the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being through Healthy Lifestyles: The Total Woman: Mind Body and Spirit

Our chapter won 1st place for Photography and Scrapbook Competition at the Southern Regional Convention 2005, illustrating our to commitment to HIV/AIDS awareness through the International Day of Service
