Arts and Letters
The Arts & Letters Committee seeks to uphold the goals of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. by bringing awareness to the creative expressions and ingenuity of artists in various forms, including literature, performing arts, and visual arts. The purpose of the programs serve to recognize the innovative abilities of artists, especially, African Americans, who are accomplished in the areas of cultural or expressive arts on a local, national or international level.
Each year the committee selects a local organization to support through fundraising and programming efforts. The chapter has supported the Chester Community Arts Center, the Chester Children’s Chorus, and the Delaware County Literacy Council. The committee’s vision is to encourage a better quality of life for chapter members and the residents of the community by fostering an appreciation for artistic endeavors.
