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 200
committed sorors who collectively work together to enhance their service
area.
