Of Delia Sigma Theta

N. Y.), newest member of
Delta Sigma Theta, seen after
her initiation into the Brooklyn
Alumnae Chapter.
In a luncheon address at the
chapter's Founders' Day lunch
eon, following the initiation
ceremonies, Rep. Chisholm re
minded her sister Deltas that
progress only comes with cour
age and hard work. "The road
to progress," she said, "is no
road for weaklings. Those who
cannot summon up the courage
and the stamina to travel along
it will become lost. For what
ever is worthwhile is worth
working for, sacrificing for and
struggling for."
