About hac





The Hattiesburg Alumnae 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.

Hattiesburg Alumnae Chapter continues to focus our attention to current health care disparities that affect our local community. Our chapter provides HIV/AIDS education and free screening to local college students, promote breast cancer awareness to women of all ages, and support local efforts of the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi and American Heart Association.

As a chapter, we register citizens to vote, support our local government and elected officials, highlight minority owned businesses, provide financial literacy program to local school districts, and advocate international causes.


History





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.
