  HONORING DELTA SIGMA THETA SORORITY FOUNDERS' DAY 110TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mrs. BEATTY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. BEATTY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the 110th 
Founders' Day of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, founded in 
1913 by 22 collegiate women from Howard University who refused to be 
denied the right to march in the women's suffrage march.
  I am so proud today as we push forward with fortitude to join the 
seven female Members of Congress standing strong here in the Halls of 
Congress, working together just as our Founders did, to advance the 
fight for voting rights, for women's reproductive rights, for criminal 
justice, housing, HBCUs, and education.
  Most importantly, I am proud to join my Delta sisters: Congresswomen 
Clarke, McBath, Plaskett, Crockett, Lee, and Foushee.
  To my sisters and Deltas and all members of Panhellenic, we say thank 
you for your service. But most importantly, today I say Happy Founders' 
Day.
