Celebrating Women’s History through Delta Zeta

Women’s History Month had its start in 1981 when Congress authorized and requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982 as “Women’s History Week.”  Since that time, Presidents Clinton and Obama have proclaimed March as Women’s History Month. The purpose of this month is to pay “tribute to the generations of women whose commitment to nature and the planet have proved invaluable to society.” (http://womenshistorymonth.gov).

We certainly know quite a few Delta Zeta Women of Achievement who fit into this category. Like the first line of the Delta Zeta Creed states, “To the world, I promise temperance, insight and courage, to crusade for justice, seek the truth and defend it always,” these members have provided invaluable contributions not only to our own Sorority, but to the world. 

Finding out more about the women we are honored to call sisters is an amazing privilege we have as members of Delta Zeta. Whether you surf on over to Pinterest and read the Women of the Year board or if you have taken some time to walk through the Virtual Tour of Delta Zeta’s National Historical Museum and spent some time in the Florida Room, which highlights our Women of Achievement, you will certainly learn something new about our Delta Zeta heritage to celebrate during Women’s History Month.
