Stephanie Tubbs Jones said "I rise this morning, Mr. Speaker, to commemorate my sorority, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., that is celebrating its annual convention in Atlanta, Georgia. I am proud to be a member of that sorority that hosts more than 200,000 members across this country and internationally, women who have graduated from colleges all over this world. We are not only a sorority in the sense that people talk about sororities, but we are a national service sorority, having been involved in many projects throughout this country to raise the level of consciousness of women and folk across the country. So I just want to celebrate the President of our organization, Gwendelynn Boyd, and all of our other national members, and the immediate past president, Marsha Fudge, now the mayor of the city of Warrensville Heights, Ohio." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
