Chartered in 1951 and tracing its roots to the Beta Kappa Chapter established in 1937, the Hampton Alumnae Chapter has built a proud legacy of sisterhood, scholarship, service, and social action that continues to strengthen our communities today. Throughout its history, the chapter has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to improving the lives of others. Its members have supported educational opportunities through scholarships and youth mentoring programs, helped address food insecurity through partnerships with the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank, and invested in communities both [[Page E531]] locally and abroad through projects ranging from Habitat for Humanity homes to water wells in Haiti and Kenya. The chapter's work reflects a deep commitment to service and to expanding opportunity for all. The Hampton Alumnae Chapter has also been a leader in promoting health and wellness, economic empowerment, and civic engagement. Through voter registration efforts, public forums, financial literacy programs, wellness initiatives, and youth leadership development, the chapter has helped residents become more informed, engaged, and empowered members of their communities. Mr. Speaker, I commend the Hampton Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, for 75 years of dedicated service and community leadership. I congratulate its members, past and present, on this milestone anniversary and thank them for the lasting impact they have made on Hampton Roads and beyond. ____________________
