Since 1924, the Dallas Alumnae Chapter has risen high on the waves of public service and has successfully effected many positive changes throughout the local community. From it's embryonic stage, with one of Delta Sigma Theta's National Founders, Frederica Chase Dodd, keeping the charge of establishing a Delta chapter in her hometown, Dallas Alumnae presently has over 350 active members. Along with Soror Dodd, the following sorors will long be remembered as the cornerstones of the chapter: Jessie Pollard, Ruth Mason, Ruby Pollard Reed, Nettie Wycliff, Rowena Wilkins Blackmon, Lillian Thompson, Koletta Jefferson Washington, Marie Starks Burke, Jessie T. Rice, Rezolia Thrash, Doris Tipps, Irene Dobbs Jackson, Deraline Winston McKenzie, Leatrice Porter, Myrtle Saddler, and DeArtis Pryor Purify.
