Approximately 80 members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., at tended the three-day gala affair. States, represented were North Carolina, ; Virginia, Georgia, Maryland and California and the District of Col umbia. The enthusiastic sorors who participated represented all eras of Delta Life at NCCU. The idea was born among a group of several Charlotte Deltas, graduates of North Carolina Central Univer sity, who formed the catalyst for the reunion. They specifically plann ed for all NCCU graduates who pledged Delta Sigma Theta in Durham and through Alpha Lambda Chapter on the campus as well as NCCU graduates who subsequently became members of the sorority in graduate chapters. The reunion commit tee members were all NCCU graduates and most were members of the Charlotte Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta, Inc. Spearheading the Steer ing Committee were: Judy E: Hunter, coor dinator; Peggy M. gVard, assistant coor Hinatortreasurer; Janice 'A. Crowder, chairman, finance committee; Margie C. Morris, secretary; Earline C. Forte, ': Brenda M. Froneberger, Tammera Y. Roseboro and Cyn thia Grate Woods. Ms. Ward is also newly elected vice president of the North Carolina Cen tral University Alumni Association. Although a graduate chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was organized in Durham in the early 1930's and the first NCC undergraduates were in itiated in 1931, Alpha Lambda Chapter was chartered April 25,. 1941 on the campus of NCC. A social hour on Fri day evening provided the opportunity for Deltas to reminisce about their Delta experiences, to renew old ties and to' greet new members. Raleigh Sorors Phyllis Gray and Diana Phillips presented a slide review of Delta life . during the 70's. One of the highlights of the reunion was the Heritage Breakfast held on Saturday morning, when program par ticipants reflected on the organization of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority in Durham, the beginning of Alpha Lambda Chapter on the NCC campus and the develop ment of the institution from North Carolina College for Negroes to North Carolina Central University. Program participants ! included two NCCU graduates who have been members of Delta Sigma Theta for more than fifty years: Mrs. Marion W. Boyd, Charlotte, who was one of the first three initiates in 1931, and Mrs; Margaret E.D. Grady, Dudley, N.C. , who became a member in 1932. Ms. Frances Atkins, Wilmington, represented the 1941 Charter Alpha Lambda Chapter which consisted of 17 members. Saturday afternoon was reserved for sight seeing, shopping, and renewing acquaintances. A buffet dinner and evening of jazz on Satur day evening concluded the day's activities. Worship services were held on Sunday morning at Little Rock AME Zion Church. When the sorors bade "Farewell" on Sunday afternoon, one point was clear: another such reu nion is already in the planning stages. Local Deltas par ticipating on the pro gram were: Frances H. Mclver, Durham Alum nae Chapter; and Pansy D. Glanton, a rising senior at NCCU. A special guest was Dr. Bertha Maxwell, regional director of the South Atlantic Region of Delta Sigma Theta, Inc.
