The Sadie T. M. Alexander Award is the highest award presented by the Philadelphia Alumnae Chapter to a deserving person(s) that has demonstrated outstanding community and public service in the Philadelphia area. May Week, the idea of the first National President, Dr. Sadie T. M. Alexander, is one of Delta Sigma Theta’s most effective and long-lasting programs, which highlights the sorority’s emphasis on education and Black pride. Dr. Alexander laid the groundwork by promoting academic excellence, encouraging social action, fighting for human rights, and maintaining staunch political involvement. We strive to continue her incredible legacy by honoring those who continue to do the work in our community.
