What is recognized by the Outstanding Chapter Program award?

The Outstanding Chapter Program award is recognized for a program that has a positive impact. This aligns with the values of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., which emphasizes community service, advocacy, and the promotion of programs that uplift and benefit the communities they serve. An impactful program is one that not only meets the needs of its target audience but also inspires and mobilizes members and other stakeholders toward meaningful action. Evaluating programs for their effectiveness ensures that the organization remains focused on making a difference in society, which is central to its mission and values.

While individual accomplishments and contributions in leadership, academic achievement, and creativity in the arts are important within the organization, the award specifically highlights the collective efforts of the chapter in executing a program that positively influences others. Therefore, the emphasis is placed on the impact of the program rather than on individual recognition or specific metrics like GPA or artistic innovation.
