Letter from the Editor Delta
Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. was founded on the principles of sisterhood,
scholarship and service. These are the building blocks we use as the
foundation for our beliefs. Our
sisterhood is composed of strong, educated women who bestow love and
support to all. We are committed to improving ourselves as well as the
community around us. The women of Delta Sigma Theta are continually
striving to educate the public on issues affecting the global community,
from the AIDS epidemic to the political arena. There is no issue too great
or too small for us to tackle. In
this issue of The OQ, News for You we will highlight the happenings
of the Omicron Omega Chapter at XI LINE: Spring 2K2 Greetings!!! I
would like to introduce to some and present to others Omicron Omega’s
newest chapter members, Xi Line, also known as Organized Chaos. The Omicron
Omega Chapter now has eleven more hardworking Sorors in the chapter. On On Saturday, they
participated in their first Delta Playday. Our
eleven new initiates worked diligently to make Playday
a success. At Coming from the Dean, it was
a pleasure, more so an honor, to bring in Xi Line. I would not trade my experience for the
world. I know in my heart that these
eleven young women will keep the Omicron Omega traditions alive, and more
importantly, they will also WORK HARD FOR DELTA!!! DSQ

International Day of Service Once again Delta Sigma Theta
Sorority, Inc. has taken a stand and found a wonderful way to reach inside
of the global community to educate and defend. The International Day of
Service was dedicated to bringing awareness to the AIDS epidemic that is
growing globally. The Omicron Omega
Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. collaborated with the Brazos
Valley Area Alumnae to lend their support to the cause in their local area
by collecting canned goods and monetary gifts for the Family/Aids Services
of Brazos Valley. Kroger Grocery
store was grateful enough to allow solicitation outside of their most
visible branch in Delta Playday 2K2 Every spring Omicron Omega hosts its annual Delta PlayDay, a day of fun and physical activity for college
students and Bryan-College Station youth.
This year’s event, held at the The atmosphere of PlayDay was that of your old school elementary field
day. Games and relays such as
kickball, egg toss, and balloon pop reinvented the spirit of childhood play
for many college students. PlayDay participants enjoyed a meal of hotdogs,
sausage, hamburgers, cake, chips, and cookies. Also, snow cones seemed to be a hot
commodity, as they couldn’t be pumped out fast enough for swarms of people
looking to beat the heat. needed water fight that
rendered many a soppy mess. J Omicron would like to thank all that
donated time and funds to the success of PlayDay
2002. We extend a special thanks to
local businesses and the staff of the Diva Day After a very long and hectic weekend, the
Devastating Divas of Omicron Omega relaxed with a day of fellowship, food
and fun on Sunday. Decked out in our Sunday best we all
gathered and fellowshipped at Following church, the divas gathered and went to
Cheddar's. We enjoyed a great meal and a plethora of laughs. We laughed at the old and new stories
everyone told and joked about things that happened each of us in the
past. We had a lot of fun together
as we fellowshipped. After everyone had finished
their meal, we said our goodbyes and left to go home and prepare for the
upcoming week by studying, napping, and planning our next get together! DSQ
The Sorors Show An Attitude of Gratitude…The Big Event!
On
unique because
we were able to fellowship with other students whom also believe in simply
giving back to such a supportive kinship. The women of DST along with the
men of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. were able to show their
indebtedness by adding a fresh coat of paint and new life to a family’s
lovely home. DSQ This year we kicked off Playday
Weekend 2002 with a very entertaining and informative game show entitled
"Weakest Link." I'm sure we have all seen or heard about the
real show that comes on T.V. with the very sarcastic and serious host
whose catch phrase is "Good-bye!" For our version of the show we
asked a series of questions to six contestants, many of which were
campus leaders and other Greek affiliates. The questions were relevant to
the theme of Playday, which was 'Breakin' into 2K2', pertaining to the late 70's and
80's. Questions related to hip-hop culture, popular television series and
much more. The host, played by Soror Christine Randolph, was very entertaining for
she mocked the actual host with a series of sarcastic comments with a very
stern demeanor. Each round a contestant was eliminated. During the final
round, the two remaining contestants competed for a grand prize. We even
had "commercial breaks," which we used to publicize for the rest
of Playday weekend. During the breaks we set
mood for the show by playing old school music, favorites such as Salt 'n Pepa and Biz Markie. The
show was a success! The audience was packed and was really feeding into
the show. Neither the contestants nor the audience members went home
empty handed. We gave everyone a special prize for participating and
supporting. This program was an excellent start for our Playday weekend and as the weekend continued, it just
got better! DSQ
