Delta Leaden Make
Final Plans For~
Dallas Convention
DALLAS-Top officers of Delta
Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., led by
National President Hortense G.
Canady, of Lansing, Michigan, met
here to plan the organization’s 38th
national convention, set for Dallas,
August 3-7,1985.
“We’ll bring the Big D to the Big
D,” Mrs. Canady quipped at a City
Hall reception for the planners.
She received the keys to the city
and a warm welcome from city
council-members Albert i.ip«~nmh
and Larry Rucker acting for the
mayor who was in San Francisco.
The cordial remarks of city
officials were echoed by A1 Herron,
Dallas -Black- -Chamber of
Commerce, Bishop College
President Wright L. Lassiter Jr.,
and heads of Dallas Greek letter
organizations.
Mrs. Canady said Delta is
planning for 10,000 conventioneers in
1985, making it the sorority’s largest
gathering.
“It will be a Grand Reunion of
chapters, the first time we have ever
tried to bring sorors who were -
inti listed in one chapter, later
moving to an alumnae chapter in
another part of the country, together
with their original initiation group,’’
Mrs. Canady said. The sorority is
also revving up for a rousing'
celebration of its Diamond Jubilee in
1988.
I he national president introduced
Delta officials in her remarks,
including New York author and
Delta Paula Giddingx, whose best
selling new book about black
women, “Whenand Where I Enter,”
so stirred the sorority’s leadership
that Mrs. Canady invited her to
make the Delta regional conference
circuit this summer to promote the
volume,-. ' Vi'
Delta national board members
were taken on a tour of Dallas
convention facilities, including the
modern million-square foot Dallas
Convention Center where the
convention will be held. They were
accompanied by local Delta
planners headed by convention
coordinators Sandra Malone,
Deborah Fridia and Faye Williams,
as well as Dallas Alumnae Chapter
President Ella Johnson.
The mammoth Delta gathering
will occupy 12 hotels. The Dallas
Hyatt Regency will be the
convention lead hotel.
_ DeRp.Esecutive Director Mary B.
Hendrick, of Washington, D.C.,
where the sorority is headquartered,
said attendance at Delta regional
conferences tius spring was up by 33
percent, breaking all previous
records and arguing well for a
larger than usual biennial
convention.
Mrs. Canady cited a number of
reasons to expect a banner Delta
turnout.
“Deltas across the nation are
excited about our forthcoming
Diamond Jubilee and such major
program initiatives as “Summitt II:
In Support of Black Single
Mothers." They are eager to move
ahead on action programs to solve
some of the problems single mothers
face," Mrs. Canady declared. Delta
is now in the process of preparing for
publication Summitt II proceedings,
reports of the 42 local summit
conferences.
In addition, much of the 125,000
Delta national membership is
concentrated in the South Atlantic
states and the Dallas location is very
accessible to it, she added.
The 97th Delta convention' of
August 1983, in Detroit, drew nearly
6,000 members and families and the
sorority’s homecoming 36fh
gathering in August 1981, in
Washington, D.C. where It was
touiMtod at Howard University, was
attended by more than 8,000, then a
record number.
Delta Sigma Theta, the nation’s
single largest black women’s organ
ization, has more than 712 chapters
throughout the U.8. and overseas.
Its rolls include such well-known
women as the late Mary McLeod
Bethune, former Congresswomen
Barbara Jordan and Shirley
Chisholm, and singer Lena Horne.
