Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.'s 46th National Convention is in 2002 and will be held in Altanta. Our 45th was last year in Chicago. We have Regional Conferences in the odd-numbered years. This year, the Southern Regional Conference is in Biloxi, MS.
I definely think conventions & conferences are worth it. They're great venues to fellowship and exchange ideas with Sorors you haven't met and catching up with chapter Sorors you haven't seen in a while. Our conventions & cnferences are also where everything happens as far as policy, procedure, rules & regulations are concerned. Because of this, all our chapters are required to be represented by 2 delegates, but everyone in the Sorority is welcome & encouraged to register and attend. There is so much to learn about the workings of the Sorority at conventions and conferences as well.
As far as sponsorship goes, our Alumnae Chapters do not generally sponsor Collegiate Chapters. All chapters: Alumnae, Collegiate, & Core, are expected to raise funds throughout the year to fund not only registrations & trips to various conferences, meetings, and conventions but also to support the chapters own programs and initiatives. This is not to say that Alumnae chapters do not assist Collegiate & core chapters at all. It's just that by the time a Soror initiated at the Collegiate level graduates, she should be extremely familiar with how a chapter is run.
