Springfield Alumnae Chapter
Picture
Realizing that the Springfield community was in need of a service organization such as Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and that the young Black women in the community needed positive role models such as Delta women could provide, an attempt was made by Sorors Clara Childs and Lillie Hickerson in 1976-77 to get all Delta women in the area together in order to establish an Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. in Springfield, MA. This attempt, as well as several others, failed. They were unable to generate enough interest to find the required twelve (12) sorors. 

In late 1980, a group of five younger Sorors, Denise Ewin, Robyn Frances, Cynthia Roberson, Andrea Stone, and Deborah Heath Carpenter worked with Soror Hickerson and presented a proposal and application for a charter to National. They were informed that they had to become financial. They  again searched for twelve (12)members, this time being successful. Dues were submitted in June 1981  as members-at-large. In November, 1981 they were notified that a charter for an Alumnae chapter had been approved. Soror Dorothy Stanley, Eastern Regional Director, was contacted to set up a date for the chartering ceremony. On December 5, 1981, Springfield Alumnae Chapter was officially chartered as a Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
