The Smithfield Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. was chartered on March 6, 1999 by 22 Deltas who were committed to address the needs of Smithfield, Isle of Wight County, and Surry County service areas. Today, the chapter is comprised of 47 women who have sponsored or partnered community service programs and projects such as Voter Registration Drives, “Relay for Life”, Habitat for Humanity, “Souper” Saturday (Christian Outreach), An Evening of the Arts, Betty Shabazz Delta Academy, Red Cross Blood Drives, and Health Fairs. Members have contributed countless hours of public service, implemented through Delta’s Five-Point Programmatic Thrust:

1. Economic Development

2. Physical and Mental Health

3. Educational Development

4. Political Awareness and Involvement

5. International Awareness and Involvement

Through the Jocelyn P. Goss Memorial Academic Scholarship Award, the Trudi Blount Memorial Academic Scholarship Award, and the Annette V. Daniels Memorial Academic Scholarship Award, the chapter recognizes and rewards academic excellence and provides financial assistance to seniors at Smithfield, Windsor, and Surry County High Schools. Over the years, the chapter has also awarded book scholarships to deserving college-bound young men and women.
