On April 30, 2011, in celebration of the 85th anniversary of the Alpha Gamma Chapter at Morgan State University, the women of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. will return from all over the country, gathering to participate with the national Sister Soldier Project in a very special Packing Party event for our Sister Soldiers overseas.

The women of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and friends will pack and ship 500 boxes to our "Sister Soldiers" overseas, containing ethnic hair care products, products unavailable to the Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airwomen through normal channels overseas, plus other personal care and entertainment items. As a personal touch, each box is topped off with a handwritten note from the event, expressing gratitude for the soldier's service to our country. Participants will also include members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. who are current students and Alumni of Morgan State University, Student Volunteers from Morgan State University and other community volunteers.
