The rate of su***de is rapidly increasing among African Americans, especially adolescents and young adults. We can reduce these rates by educating ourselves and breaking down the stigma that surrounds mental health in our community. Let’s start by dispelling two common myths about su***de.

Myth # 1 : Most su***des are caused by one single traumatic event.

Fact : Most are a buildup of stressful and traumatic events that cause depression so severe that ending one's life may seem like the only option.

Myth #2 : Only people with mental illness have suicidal thoughts.

Fact : Suicidal thoughts can be caused by excessive stress, pain, and unhappiness. These feelings and thoughts can be felt by anyone.

Let’s do our part in bringing awareness to mental health and preventing su***de!

Join us in celebrating the 2023 winners!

Six innovative Deltapreneurs endured a six-month process that required them to clear several hurdles to get to the Delta Red Tank Grand Finale during . All finalists earned cash awards and opportunities for mentoring and business guidance from our generous, dedicated corporate sponsors--Prudential, Macy’s, Inc., Dear Delta and Truist Bank. Grand prize winners won $25,000, while second and third place winners won $15,000 and $10,000, respectively.

In the spirit of the 22 collegiate women who boldly defied the order of the day by participating in the Women's Suffrage March for women’s right to vote in 1913, we encourage ALL sorors to participate in the 60th Anniversary of the March on Washington on August 26th in Washington, D.C.!

They recognized the need to be engaged, to speak up, and to advocate for voting rights, for justice, for equality, and for freedom...now it’s our turn!

And remember sorors, this is not a commemoration, but a CONTINUATION!

The right to vote is fundamental to democracy, yet in statehouses across the country, we see systemic, targeted attacks on that sacred right and attacks designed to limit and diminish voters of color and young people. That’s why we must restore the Voting Rights Act!

Members from the Divine 9 worshipped together & heard a mighty word from Pastor Theron Jackson!

We came………We saw……..And WE Conquered!!!! Yes…….SAC received the 2023 Willie J. C. Critton Spirit Award at the Movers and Shakers Event for having the most members in attendance!!!! A big thanks to all the Sorors who showed up and showed out!!!
