The public service programs of all chapters of Delta Sigma Theta are centered around the five point program thrusts and other National initiatives. BCAC has a number of effective programs in place that focus on each of these major areas.

Educational Development

BCAC demonstrates its committment to educational excellence through a variety of programs and efforts. BCAC provides afterschool educational activities, homework assistance programs, a Saturday Reading Program, and other intiatives. BCAC also awards annual scholarships to qualifying high school seniors. Additionally, BCAC seeks to encourage and enhance the educational development of young women through the Delta Academy and Delta GEMS programs.

The 2007 Regional Day of Service focused on the subject of education. In keeping with this, BCAC brought attention to the issue of safety in schools and its impact on the learning process. With support from local and state politicians as well as civic organizations and school officials, BCAC hosted a two part panel highlighting the various concerns of students and teachers regarding school safety and identifying possible solutions. Guest panelists included educational leaders, community activists, students, and celebrity panelist, actor Wendell Pierce from the HBO Series "The Wire". In recognition of its outstanding work on the subject of education, BCAC received the Regional Day of Service Award at the Eastern Regional Conference.

Economic Development

The importance of financial planning, money management, and consumer education is a priority for Delta. Chapters are encouraged to educate sorors in areas such as debt reduction and home ownership. BCAC, in keeping with the idea of "Financial Fortitude", offers financial management seminars and home ownership workshops to the Baltimore County community. Most recently, the Chapter played a very active role in the coordination of the Maryland-District of Columbia Delta Challenge Home Buyer Expos. The initial Expo was held at Morgan State University, attracting over 300 participants. The Chapter also participated in the development and distribution of a Black Business Directory for Baltimore County.

Physical and Mental Health

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. has always been concerned about the overall physical and mental health of its members and the community at large. Delta has put its efforts into many national efforts towards prevention, education, medical research and wellness programs. The recent effort is the "Total Woman: Mind Body Spirit - Lifestyle Change Initiative" which is focused on achieving a healthy lifestyle through weight maintainance and reduction. BCAC is also focused on weight maintanence through its program of encouraging sorors to walk as a means of attaining a healthy life.

In addition, BCAC participated in Summit V and the International Day of Service which focused on HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness through workshops, fundraising bowl-a-thons, and toiletries collected and distributed throughout the county.

Political Awareness & Involvement

Delta has been on the forefront of political awareness and involvement since the women's suffrage movement. Although Delta is non-partisan, the organization recognizes the importance of informing the public about political issues and the political process.

BCAC has hosted several voter registration drives and voter education programs. BCAC has also provided a "Meet the Candidates" political forum for Baltimore County residents. BCAC also participates in the annual Delta Days in the Nations Capitol and Delta Days in Annapolis, a local event which allows Deltas to meet with members of the Maryland General Assembly to discuss important community issues.

International Awareness & Involvement

The International Awareness & Involvement Committee is responsible for keeping the chapter abreast of ongoing matters related to Africans and African-Americans. This Committee has participated in International festivals and seminars. Additionally, the committee participated in the campaign to stop the genocide in the Darfur Region of Sudan.
