RECLAMATION. REFLECTION. RENEWAL.
Greeting Sorors!
I am overjoyed and excited to welcome you aboard the Love Train headed to the 2026 New York Metropolitan Coordinating Council Founders Day Observance, hosted by the North Manhattan Alumnae Chapter. Together we will pay homage to the twenty-two visionary collegiate women who planted seeds that burrowed deep roots over 112 years ago.
Our theme, 'All of My Love: The Epitome of Reclamation, Reflection, and Renewal,' reflects our commitment to welcoming sorors home with open arms, reminding and encouraging our sisters to allow their love for Delta to motivate and drive them to engage in great works that affect much needed change.
With hundreds of sorors in attendance, we believe that you will leave this momentous occasion feeling grounded, inspired, loved and energized to hold fast to our work in service and our lifetime commitment to our beloved sorority. So come with joy in your heart, a beautiful smile on your face, and a purposeful intention to love on your sisters.
With All of My Love,
Soror La-Asia Hundley
President,
North Manhattan Alumnae Chapter

COMMUNITY SERVICE INITIATIVE
FLOW FORWARD: Power in Our Pads, a citywide service initiative, is a unified effort among the 20+ graduate and collegiate NYMCC chapters to uplift our communities and honor the legacy of our 22 Founders.
VISION & PURPOSE
In celebration of Founders Day 2026 and our shared commitment to public service, NYMCC will lead a citywide menstrual equity campaign spanning September 2025 to December 2025. This project will address period poverty, a persistent and overlooked barrier to wellness, dignity, education, and opportunity for countless women, girls, and gender-expansive individuals in our communities.
By uniting all NYMCC chapters, we will demonstrate the collective impact of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. across all five boroughs and beyond through:
-
Coordinated menstrual product drives
-
Strategic partnerships with local organizations
-
Youth education and empowerment via Delta Academy, GEMS, EMBODI, etc.
-
Legislative and community advocacy
WHY THIS MATTERS
This initiative is grounded in Delta’s Five-Point Programmatic Thrust and directly aligns with the National Strategic Plan (2021–2026), particularly:
-
Goal 3.5 – Empowering Women and Girls
-
Objective: Support the overall physical and mental well-being of women and girls
Period poverty is not just a health issue—it is an educational, economic, and political issue. Through this effort, we aim to:
-
Distribute 10,000 or more menstrual hygiene products
-
Host empowering workshops for girls and young women
-
Partner with local schools, shelters, and OB-GYNs
-
Advocate for policy change at the city and state levels
