  Ms. FUDGE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the women of Delta Sigma 
Theta Sorority, Incorporated as they use their collective strength to 
engage in public advocacy during Delta Days in the Nation's Capital.
  101 years ago, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated's 22 
trailblazing Founders started an organization of college educated women 
devoted to sisterhood, scholarship and service.
  Since 1989, women of Delta from across the country gather annually to 
hold their representatives accountable and stand up for the issues 
critical to their communities and our country. Delta Days in the 
Nation's Capital, a creation of the sorority's National Social Action 
Commission, ensures the members of the sorority are active participants 
in the public policy-making process.
  I am proud of the legacy and expectation of activism that forms the 
backbone of this sorority.
  I welcome my Sorors to the Nation's Capital as they work for change 
in their communities.
