Forward with Fortitude: Celebrating Delta Sigma Theta at Their 57th National Convention

This July, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated (DST) gathered in Washington, D.C. for their 57th National Convention, under the inspiring theme “Forward with Fortitude: A Homecoming of Strength and Purpose.” More than 20,000 members descended on the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, with another 13,000 participating virtually—a powerful testament to Delta’s expansive reach and enduring legacy  .

Over five impactful days (July 8–13), attendees immersed themselves in programs reflecting DST’s longstanding pillars: sisterhood, scholarship, service, and social action  . Highlights included the Deltas on the Fairway golf tournament honoring sports pioneer Helen Webb Harris; the Red Tank Pitch Competition, featuring budding “Deltapreneurs”; and an impassioned Social Action Luncheon, headlined by Senator Cory Booker, highlighting civic engagement and policy influence  .

A standout initiative was Impact Day on July 8, which mobilized volunteers to pack nearly 3,000 menstrual hygiene kits for local DC shelters and support menstrual health efforts abroad—in Kenya and Haiti  . True to DST’s core values, this convention was not just a reunion—it was a call to action, echoing the mission-driven activism Delta has upheld for over a century  .

As delegates connected, strategized, and uplifted their communities, Sorority Bottoms was with them every step of the way. We were honored to present the Delta Soror Heel, an exclusive pair of heels crafted for the confident, empowered Delta woman who stands on business—and does so with unparalleled elegance.
