Delta Gems/Delta Academy/EMBODI
Education mentoring programs,
the Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta
Academy is open for girls ages
11 – 14 in middle school and the
Dr. Jeanne Noble Delta Gems is
open for young ladies in high
school. Delta Academy provides
an opportunity for the chapter
to enrich and enhance the
education that our young teens
receive in public schools.
Specifically, we augment their
scholarship in math, science,
and technology, their
opportunities to provide service
in the form of leadership
through service learning, and
their sisterhood, defined as the
cultivation service learning,
and their sisterhood, defined as
the cultivation and maintenance
of relationships. A primary goal
of the program is to prepare
young girls for full
participation as leaders in the
21st Century.
Delta Gems was created to
catch the dreams of African
Americans at-risk, adolescent
girls aged 14-18. Delta GEMS
provides the frame work to
actualize those dreams through
the performance of specific
tasks that develop a CAN DO
attitude. The goals for Delta
GEMS are:
-
To instill the need
to excel
academically;
-
To provide tools
that enable girls to
sharpen and enhance
their skills to
achieve high levels
of academic success;
-
To assist girls in
proper goal setting
and planning for
their futures high
school and beyond;
and
-
To create
compassionate,
caring, and
community minded
young women by
actively involving
them in service
learning and
community service
opportunities.

The EMBODI (Empowering Males to
Build Opportunities for Developing
Independence) program is
designed to refocus the efforts of
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.,

major organizations, on the plight
of African-American males. Both
informal and empirical data suggests
that the vast majority of
African-American males continues to
be in crisis and is not reaching its
fullest potential educationally,
socially and emotionally. EMBODI is
designed to address these issues
through dialogue, and
recommendations for change and
action.
Each programs offer a positive forum
for self discovery and learning. See
calendar for meeting dates. Please
