  and
         WHEREAS, The Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was initiated in 1913
  at Howard University in Washington, D.C.; the 22 original members
  included four young women from Texas, Zephyr Chisom Carter, Jessie
  McGuire Dent, Frederica Chase Dodd, and Myra Davis Hemmings, all
  committed to academic excellence and social change; members marched

  national organization in 1930; and

  250,000 women in the United States and several foreign countries,
  organized into about 1,000 chapters, including over 250 in the Lone
  Star State; members work toward positive change in their
  communities and advocate for economic development, international
  awareness, physical and mental health, and improved education;
  moreover, they mentor at-risk African American girls, conduct voter
  awareness drives, host political forums, and help guide and inform
  public policy; and
         WHEREAS, The women of Delta Sigma Theta have enriched the
  State of Texas and the nation with their generosity and their wide
  array of programs and services, and it is indeed a pleasure to
  commend them for their noteworthy endeavors; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize April 8, 2013, as Red and White Day at
  the State Capitol and extend to all those involved with the Delta
  Sigma Theta Sorority sincere best wishes for continued success with
  their important work; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the sorority as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
