You have entered the website of the Rancocas Valley Alumnae Chapter (RVAC).  We are proud to be a part of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority’s Historic Eastern Region.  Yes, it all began in the East.   Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. was founded on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C.  In 1913 our Founders, in their infinite wisdom, lit a torch 97 years ago that still burns ever so brightly today.

For more than 34 years RVAC has provided programs and services to various populations residing in the Greater Burlington County area. Our chapter was chartered with 20 members. Today our roles exceed 100 members. The passion and fire of pure commitment fuels us as we continually grant scholarships and implement  programming with a focus on our fire point program thrust of Economic Development, Educational Development, International Awareness, Physical and Mental Health, and Political Awareness and Involvement.

We in RVAC strive to work collaboratively with businesses, political  leaders, churches, community groups, schools, and other Greek organizations, to name a few. This is evidenced our Delta GEMS, Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy, Delta Days at the state and National capital, Community recognition events, our Economic Directory of Black owned Businesses, and a new Delta Initiative EMBODI which focus on the needs of young African –American males. We also regularly conduct voter registration drives, and we encourage our youth groups to incorporate service in their daily lives.

You are invited to explore our web site, and to provide us with feedback regarding issues facing every facet of the lives of people residing in our service area. We work diligently to provide services that are relevant and meaningful. Your input can help us to achieve our lofty goals

From top to bottom our organization recognizes the responsibility vested in us by our membership in this gift called Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. As our National President, Soror Cynthia Butler-McIntyre reminds us that “Delta Sigma Theta is A Sisterhood called to Serve,” and our goal is to “Transform lives and Impact communities.”

We hope that you enjoy our website and become educated with regards to the good works that RVAC renders to the Greater Burlington County area. A hand in sisterhood is also extended to Sorors who do not have a chapter home. RVAC can best be described as dynamic, and committed to making this a better world!

With warmest regards,

Ruth L. Barrett

President
