In plain language

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes anyone's rights or obligations. It commends Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., a national public service sorority founded in 1913 at Howard University, for 113 years of community work in areas like education, economic development, political awareness, health, and international involvement. The resolution formally designates February 23, 2026 as Delta Day at the State Capitol and celebrates the 25th anniversary of the sorority's Delta Days at the Georgia State Capital event, which involves legislative advocacy and civic engagement. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the sorority as a keepsake of the recognition.
