  Mr. GALLAGHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Delta Sigma 
Theta Sorority Statewide Founders Day Celebration in Green Bay, 
Wisconsin. With over 700 members committed to public service, the 
Wisconsin chapters of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority are a significant 
part of our community and I am proud to honor them.
  For over 100 years, the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority has created 
programs and initiatives that focus on academic excellence, community 
service, economic development, and health and fitness, with a focus on 
the African-American community. ``The Healthy Lifestyle Initiative--The 
Total Woman: Mind, Body, and Spirit'' is one of the national programs 
led by Delta Sigma Theta that focuses on improving physical and mental 
health for its members and their communities. This program is just one 
example of how the women in the Sorority work to empower and support 
their communities.
  From Friday, March 23, 2018 to Sunday, March 25, 2018, Green Bay, 
Wisconsin is proud to host the statewide Delta Sigma Theta Founders Day 
Celebration. This event will bring hundreds of Delta Sigma Theta 
Sorority members together to celebrate the organization's history and 
its numerous contributions since its founding on January 13, 1913.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge all members of this body to join me in applauding 
the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and the organization's commitment to 
support communities across the country and the world.
