On the recordApril 27, 1999
I rise to welcome Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated to Delta Days on Capitol Hill. If my colleagues will look up in the viewing area, there are some 550 Deltas here on the Hill. This is our tenth anniversary, and we have come to talk about issues that impact the African American community. Delta Sigma Theta is a sorority of 180,000 women nationwide with some 900 chapters. Our colors are crimson and cream and red and white. Our national president is Marcia Fudge. The head of our Social Action Committee is Devarieste Curry. There are two Members of the House that are members of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. They are my colleague, the gentlewoman from Florida (Mrs. Meek) and myself. On behalf of the Congress, we welcome you to the Hill and we hope to hear all you have to tell us.
