President’s Message

SFVA Deltas / President’s Message
Fallon Nelms - Chapter President

Welcome Sorors and Friends,

On behalf of the San Fernando Valley Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, I would like to welcome you to our website! We are an organization of college-educated women committed to constructive development of its members and to public service with a primary focus on the Black community.

Our chapter services the communities of San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, and Burbank. As you navigate our website, you will find information regarding our upcoming events, fundraising activities, community service projects, and more. We embrace and welcome your support as we prioritize putting our Community First!

As chapter president, it is my mission to promote one love amongst the members of my chapter, the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) ‘Valley Divine Nine,’ and the communities we serve. As it takes a village to produce life changing programs for the men, women, and children who need assistance and guidance in the San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, and Burbank areas, the Deltas of SFVA fully embrace the support, fellowship, and networking of the brothers and sisters of the Valley Divine Nine and local chamber of commerce institutions.

We invite you to stay in touch with us: check us out on Instagram, follow us on Facebook, and continue to visit our website! We look forward to seeing you at our programs and community service events.
