Sorority’s Gift to Howard Worth a Million Bucks
WASHINGTON
A visit to Howard University’s campus from members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. last month was worth a million bucks to the historically Black school in Washington, D.C.
The national sorority presented university officials with a $1 million check during activities on the campus marking the sorority’s 90th anniversary. The money will benefit the university’s Campaign for Howard, a five-year initiative launched in March 2002 to raise $250 million to further enhance the university’s academic programs and to create new facilities for learning and research (see Black Issues, March 14, 2002).
