               DELTA SIGMA THETA INSPIRES POSITIVE CHANGE

  (Mr. THANEDAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THANEDAR. Mr. Speaker, today I honor the centennial legacy of 
empowerment and service embodied by the Tau Chapter of Delta Sigma 
Theta Sorority, celebrating 100 years of unwavering commitment to 
sisterhood, scholarship, service, and social action.
  Chartered in the heart of the 13th Congressional District on January 
24, 1924, Tau Chapter stands proudly at Wayne State University in 
Detroit, Michigan, the inaugural Black Greek letter organization on the 
campus.
  Founded 111 years ago at Howard University by 22 visionary women, 
Delta Sigma Theta set the standard for service and advocacy. Boldly 
standing for women's rights in the women's suffrage march shortly after 
its inception, Delta Sigma Theta continues to inspire positive change.
