Welcome! Thank you for visiting the website of the Baltimore County Alumnae Chapter (BCAC) of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Since December 15, 1984, when BCAC was given its charter through the diligent efforts of thirty-one farsighted women known as the Pioneering Thirty-one, BCAC has provided committed service to the Baltimore County area.

As the current president of BCAC, I am pleased to give you a brief preview of BCAC's programs, community service activities, and general chapter information that you will find on the website. First and foremost, BCAC is always mindful of its mission. - "Building Communities through Action and Commitment." Our service to the community through mentoring, outreach, and exemplary programs reflect the mission of the sorority. We are proud of the work that is being done not only in the Northwest corridor of Baltimore County, but an expansion of our commitment to service in the Northeast side of the county.

Our Annual Crab Feast and the Beautillion-Cotillion bring wide recognition for BCAC, but scholarship and service are central to our mission. The Annual Crab Feast has become one of the most sought after tickets in Baltimore - but as we plan this event we are always mindful of the end results - raising funds for our public service activities. Our Beautillion-Cotillion, celebrating its 22nd year, is successful due to the dedication to provide a setting for high school seniors making that transition between high school and college through workshops, cultural events, and social activities. Over 300 debutantes and beaus, who are profiled for their academic and athletic achievements as well as their community service, have participated since the inception of this event. In recent years, due to our successful fundraising, we are pleased to provide renewing scholarships to eligible students attending HBCUs in addition to our single year scholarship awards.

As we approach the Silver Anniversary of this chapter, please visit our calendar to learn more about upcoming programs and events. You will see a full slate of activities that benefit residents of all ages in Baltimore County throughout the year: mentoring programs for girls 11-14 and 14-18 years (Delta Academy and Delta G.E.M.S., respectively), the Black History Month, Juneteenth celebration, tutorial and recreational programs, and parenting activities through the Outreach Center.

Feel free to contact us for any questions or additional information.

Yours truly,

Barbara Crawley

President
