The Sea of Red can’t be missed when the ladies of Delta Sigma theta step on the scene. Right now, the Knoxville Alumni chapter is preparing to make sure students get the education they deserve. Knoxville Alumni chapter. Over the last 10 years, we’ve given out over $100,000 worth of scholarships

You can find Delta women everywhere, shoes for school, volunteering at rehabilitation centers and racing against cancer. We want the Knoxville community to walk alongside us to come and be seen at these public meetings and forums.
