Programs
Delta Sigma Theta programs are based on a Five-Point Programmatic Thrust. Economic Development, Educational Development, International Awareness & Involvement, Physical & Mental Health, and Political Awareness & Involvement are the points that serves as the foundation for which all local programming is based upon. Killeen Alumnae Chapter implements these programs in a variety of ways.
Economic Development
Holiday Food Baskets are provided to needy families and elderly citizens during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. KAC also coordinates with West Ward Elementary School in collecting school supplies for children in need. The holiday Food Baskets and the School Supply Drive are some of the chapter’s most popular projects.
Adopt-A-Park is another program of the chapter. The chapter works with Killeen Parks and Recreation. The project not only serves to beautify the city but helps to project the image of the sorority within the community. Camacho Park is the chapter’s adopted park.
Educational Development
Since its founding in 1913 Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. has clearly distinguished itself as a public service organization that boldly confronts the challenges of African Americans and, hence, all Americans. Over the years, a wide range of programs addressing education, health, international development, and strengthening of the African American family have evolved. In realizing its mission, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. provides an extensive array of public service initiatives through its Five-Point Program Thrust of Economic Development, Educational Development, International Awareness and Involvement, Physical and Mental Health, and Political Awareness and Involvement.
International Awareness and Involvement
Through International Awareness and Involvement projects, the Killeen Alumnae Chapter has been able to broaden the community’s knowledge and understanding of nations other than our own. KAC is committed to developing and coordinating community programs designed to enhance international awareness and eradicate social inequities. Additionally, the chapter has provided financial support for supplies and administrative support to the Mary Help of the Sick Mission Hospital in Thika, Kenya and Tolietry /Personal Hygiene drive for World AIDS Day patients.
