Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Fort Washington Alumnae Chapter (FWAC) began with an idea to form a chapter dedicated to the Christian principles upon which the sorority was founded. An announcement in a church bulletin was the next step in bringing this idea to fruition. The group of Deltas who responded met monthly for eight months. On April 28, 1990, 24 Charter Members and Gwendolyn E. Boyd, then Eastern Regional Director, chartered the Fort Washington Alumnae Chapter.

Our first sorority meeting was conducted by the then Regional Director, Soror Gwendolyn E. Boyd at 4:00 p.m. on April 28, 1990, with the election of officers.

Since its inception, the sorors of FWAC have sponsored numerous programs in support of Delta's mission. The members of FWAC are dedicated to public service and live by the Christian principles of the sorority's rich legacy. As a chapter of the Historic Eastern Region, we provide services to Southern Prince George's and Charles counties. FWAC currently consists of over 300 committed sorors who collectively work together to enhance their service area.
