Self Care Initiative
Red S.H.O.E. Campaign
Deltas and women everywhere are encouraged to adopt the Red S.H.O.E. habits:
- Self-care
- Healthy living Options
- Exercise
Black women disproportionately suffer from some of the most deadly health epidemics because we focus much of our resources on taking care of everyone and everything around us. Tempe Alumnae implements several internal activities to promote healthy lifestyle choices and physical activity among our chapter members.
Mental Health Across the Lifespan
Because mental health diagnosis and treatment is often stigmatized, Delta Sigma Theta is starting the conversation with women of all ages. The sorority is exploring mechanisms to push past the "shame and stigma" to start meaningful dialogues about emotional wellness during every stage of life. Be sure to check our calendar often for information on the projects our chapter implements to support mental health around the Valley.
Coronavirus Pandemic
Arizona Pandemic Response
On March 30, 2020, Governor Doug Ducey issued a stay at home order and Superintendent of Public Instruction, Kathy Hoffman closed school facilities for the reminder of the year. This stay at home order encourages citizens to stay in their homes unless they need to leave for essential activities, such as grocery shopping, doctor visits, etc.
The link below has information on our state government response, as well as local resources for individuals and businesses. We will also share information on local resources as they become available on our social media sites so please follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
