Our History
The Oxford-Henderson Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was established May 10, 1945, under the Greek letter name of Gamma Beta Sigma, with eight (8) charter members in the Oxford-Henderson area, with the town of Oxford, North Carolina as the nucleus.
The charter members were Bessie Bizzelle Redding (President), Era G. Littlejohn (Recording Secretary), Dorothy Joyner Roberson (Corresponding Secretary), Andolia Oakley Eaton (Treasurer), Mabel J. Bryant, Ellain McGhee Brooks, Lee Alma Vaughn and Julia James Yancey.
During the week of August 17-23, 1958, at the Sorority’s National Convention, the name was changed from the Greek letter name, Gamma Beta Sigma, to Oxford-Henderson Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated since members and reclaimants were from the Oxford-Henderson area, with Oxford remaining the nucleus as the original charter was established in Oxford, North Carolina.
The Chapter currently covers Franklin, Granville, Vance, and Warren counties in North Carolina and Mecklenburg County in Virginia.
