Elevate & Empower
Soaring Higher Through Service, Sisterhood & the Arts
Hosted by the West Palm Beach Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
May 2–8, 2026
A Historic Return
For the first time since the 1970s, the West Palm Beach Alumnae Chapter proudly reintroduces a full, chapter-led May Week observance to our service area.
May Week is a national program of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. that highlights academic and professional achievement while emphasizing the importance of higher education. Each year, chapters across the country celebrate academic excellence and community impact through the promotion of the Sorority’s National Five-Point Programmatic Thrust.
This historic revival reflects our renewed commitment to service, scholarship, sisterhood, and social action. May Week returns not simply as a celebration, but as a bold declaration that we are rooted in Delta and rising in purpose.
