HINESVILLE ALUMNAE CHAPTER
Our Chapter. Our Legacy.
Rooted in sisterhood since May 24, 1987, we honor the women who established our chapter, celebrate the leaders who have guided our journey, and carry forward a lasting commitment to scholarship and public service.
Where Our Story Began
On May 24, 1987, the vision of twelve women became a lasting legacy with the chartering of the Hinesville Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., at Midway Congregational Church in Midway, Georgia.
With guidance from Dr. Louise A. Rice, who would later serve as the Sorority’s 23rd National President, our charter members established a foundation of sisterhood, scholarship, and public service. We honor their vision as we continue serving Liberty, Long, Bryan, and Wayne counties.
