New Book Release: Delta Girls Stories of Sisterhood
An Anthology of Stories Written by Women of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
Have you ever wondered why someone would pledge a sorority; particularly Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated or just wondered what this sisterhood thing is all about?
With Delta Girls Stories of Sisterhood, award-winning author/poet Linda Everett Moyé, united successful writers with emerging new literary talent, to address these questions and more. This rich and diverse anthology provides a candid view as to the motivation of over 200,000 women who have achieved membership into Delta Sigma Theta Sorority since 1913. They have dedicated themselves to performing acts of public service and scholarship through their Five Point Programmatic Thrust. This book celebrates the personal journey, the relationships sustained, and the legacy that many have built and continue to develop through a lifetime commitment to sisterhood.
The stories and poems published in this anthology and written by Delta women hailing from across the United States, present a powerful, moving and insightful look on how their lives have been touched, shaped, guided and/or inspired by a fellow sorority sister. Each Delta shares an individual story and shares how relating to the sisterhood has touched their lives on a personal level.
This first major collection of Delta women writing their own stories, is beautifully illustrated by renowned artist (Delta) Peggy Van Buren. It serves as a tribute to the women who live or have lived their lives demonstrating the essence of true sisterhood. The result is a heartfelt anthology full of energy and stylistic variation that is an inspiring gift for all women.
Moyé will debut the book, Delta Girls Stories of Sisterhood, on March 20, 2004, at the Radisson Hotel, 815 Main Street, Ft. Worth, Texas during the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority’s annual Texas/New Mexico Statewide meeting.
