About hac

In 1985, a group of 26 Delta women much like our famous 22 Founders, had a vision for a better Hattiesburg through community service. This vision became a reality on April 19, 1986 marking the beginning of another historic “Delta Journey.” Since that day, twenty-eight years ago, Hattiesburg Alumnae Chapter has truly expanded its membership.

Our chapter has provided annual educational scholarships to deserving students. We are committed to mentoring youth in our community through the Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy, Delta GEMS and EMBODI organizations.

We formed collaborative efforts with Hattiesburg AIDS Coalition, American Heart Association, Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi, Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, Hattiesburg Police Department, NACCP, Association of Retarded Citizens, and local schools and churches in order to make a difference in our local community.
