The sorority, which will celebrate its 50th charter anniversary on Saturday with a gala-fundraiser, “has served the St. Croix community with devotion and immeasurable commitment and will continue to fulfill its mission of sisterhood, scholarship, service and social action,” as such, Bryan wrote, he was proclaiming “Sunday January 19, 2025 to Saturday, January 25, 2025 as ‘Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. Week.’ Let us recognize this sorority for the valuable contributions that it has made in the community.”
