Tacoma Alumnae Chapter - Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

Members of Tacoma Alumnae, Bellevue Alumnae, and Seattle Alumnae gathered together to celebrate the birthday of and pay homage to our Soror Founder Bertha Pitts Campbell.

Bertha Pitts Campbell was a civil rights activist and one of the 22 founding members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. She made innumerable contributions to the city of Seattle and (specifically) the African American community. We are honored and grateful to continue her legacy.

Sorors of the Farwest Region, gather your family, friends, professional, and personal networks! The Farwest Regional Arts & Letters Committee extends a warm invitation to mark your calendars for a truly special occasion.

We’re thrilled to share that our very own Soror Aaliyah Williams of the Century City Alumnae Chapter is the Producer of “Black Barbie,” a groundbreaking documentary. This film speaks to the power of representation and its profound impact on our collective consciousness, a message that resonates deeply with out Farwest F.I.R.S.T. vision!

Set to make its exclusive debut on Netflix via Shondaland this Juneteenth, “Black Barbie” celebrates resilience, creativity, and the pioneering spirit of three remarkable Black women at Mattel who reshaped the narrative of the iconic Barbie brand. Dive into the captivating stories of these charismatic insiders and witness the birth of the first Black Barbie in 1980. Through their journey, we’re reminded of the significance of representation and how something as seemingly simple as a doll can shape identity and fuel imagination.

Sorors, this is our moment to rally behind Soror Williams and her incredible work. Let’s show our support by spreading the word far and wide. Mark your calendars for June 19th, and let’s make this a viewing experience to remember! This is Farwest F.I.R.S.T.!

"Service is what we do..."

This morning members of Tacoma Alumnae took action, picking up trash along the road we adopted and making our community a cleaner, greener place. Every small effort counts!

🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🌈

Join us in celebrating love, diversity, and inclusion. Whether you’re celebrating at one (or a few) parades, advocating for equity and justice or celebrating pride in solitude, let’s come together to support and uplift each other with joy and love.

We are proud to stand for inclusivity as part of our Farwest F.I.R.S.T. vision. Let’s continue to embrace and champion the “I” for inclusive in all that we do. 🏳️‍🌈✨

Happy Pride Month! June is dedicated to celebrating the joy, love, and fortitude of the LGBTQ+ community. As we commemorate , let us do so by honoring the lives and contributions of Black LGBTQ+ people who find themselves at the intersection of multiple forms of discrimination and have, for far too long, gone unrecognized in our community.

Delta Sigma Theta has championed equality, equity, and justice for ALL since our founding 111 years ago. In keeping with our dedication to social action, we will continue to create more inclusive environments while empowering the communities we serve and represent by fighting for the protection of human and equal rights of all people.

As the 54th Farwest Regional Conference officially begins we'd like to take this moment to thank Farwest Regional Director Kimberly M. Usher and Farwest Regional Representative Joy M. Moore for their faithful service and fearless leadership of the region. They remind us that a region as diverse as the Farwest requires Delta Sigma Theta to remain as innovative and inclusive as it was when the region was first established. Job well done, sorors!

"If you wanna see the best, you need to come to the Pacific Northwest!!"

Members from Washington, Oregon, and Alaska chapters (both collegiate and alumnae) came together to represent the newly formed Pacific Northwest Council at the Rhythm and Beats Island showcase during the 54th Farwest Regional Conference. The bond of the sisterhood was made stronger as we came together to stroll and dance! We are so grateful for the opportunity to connect with each other. And we'll definitely keep the party going at the PNW Council's 2025 Founders Day in Alaska!!

ALOOOOOOOO-HA! Tacoma Alumnae Chapter has been working hard all week!! We wish safe travels and traveling grace to everyone as you return home! Congratulations to our newly elected officers and to our re-elected Regional Director!!

Mahalo to the Hawaii Alumnae Chapter and the conference committee for a wonderful 54th Regional Conference! See you in 2026, Farwest Region!!!

And we're here! Tacoma Alumnae Chapter President Paula Williams and Vice President Whitney Mason have arrived in Honolulu!! We're REaDy to represent the best of the South Sound and work in the name of Delta!!

We're making an impact in Hawaii!! Members of Tacoma Alumnae Chapter have already hit the ground running, "embracing the Aloha spirit" by serving the community through the regional conference Impact Day! We rallied with other members of the Fabulous Farwest Region to create care kits for unhoused veterans in our community. As our Fabulous Regional Director says, "Service is the rent we pay for being on this earth." And service is what we do.

We can't wait!! See you in Hawaii, Sorors!!!!

Embrace the aloha spirit, Sorors!

In Hawaii, ‘aloha’ is a way of life; embodying love, compassion, and unity. Let’s cultivate the spirit of aloha within our sisterhood and extend a warm welcome to all Sorors joining us for the 54th Farwest Regional Conference!

Share your aloha moments or messages of sisterly love in the comments below!

Wishing a blessed and joyous Passover to our sorors, friends, and partners from Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated!

Post 3 of 3 from yesterday's activities of Tacoma Alumnae: Social Action is in our DNA...

Members of Tacoma Alumnae Chapter and chapters all over Washington State held watch parties for the Netflix film "Shirley". (This pic is from just one of many watch parties our chapter held.)

Shirley is the intimate portrayal of trailblazing political icon (and member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated) Shirley Chisholm, the first Black Congresswoman and the first Black woman to run for President of the U.S, and the cost of accomplishment for Shirley herself. This film will tell the story of Chisholm's boundary-breaking and historic presidential campaign.
