Comprised
of young and seasoned professionals in the fields of education, healthcare, the
arts, civics and business, the Westchester Alumnae chapter is known
for its commitment and dedication. Serving the distinguished Westchester
community for over 36 years, our service efforts often extend past those
boundaries. Using the classic success formula that includes networking and
partnerships, the ladies of Delta Nu Sigma evolve with change, identify needs
and take action to promote a viable resolution.
Through
our signature program, Project Reassurance, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority focuses on
Healthy Choices, Healthy Living and Healthy Generations. Project
Reassurance consists of three modules that encompass four touch points:
Physical Health, Mental Health, Safe Communities, and Protecting the
Future. Using this as a foundation, Delta Nu Sigma has provided
programming and resources to local programs and charity events including:
