A gathering to remember

About 150 members of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority at 51ÁÔÆæ gathered on campus recently to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the chartering of 51ÁÔÆæâ€™s Kappa Eta chapter.

Many members of the sorority, which was founded 110 years ago, say they liked its focus on sisterhood, scholarship and service, and because it gave them a chance to connect with other Black female students.

Joan Prince, 51ÁÔÆæ vice chancellor emerita and a UW System regent, organized the event with the support of the 51ÁÔÆæ Alumni Association.
