San Jose Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated was chartered on November 8, 1970, by women committed to community service, and driven by the same vision and purpose as the 22 Founders of our Sorority. We have provided over 50 years of service to Santa Clara County. 

 

Our youth are a major focus for the chapter and we have programs for both male and female teens that will help them grow personally and socially as well as building community awareness and civic engagement. Our Images program (also known as Delta Gems) is for girls, ages 13 to 18 and our EMBODI program is for boys, ages 11 to 18.  If you have youth that can benefit from these programs please click here for more information.

 

In addition, annual scholarships are awarded to graduating high school seniors who reside in Santa Clara County. The application becomes available in the Fall and the scholarship is awarded in the Spring. We hope that our supporters will continue to contribute to the education of our young people.
