Social Action

Formed in 1934, the Social Action program was conceived by Bro. Elmo M. Anderson to focus on improving the general wellbeing of disenfranchised people. The mission of the International Social Action Program is to encourage social, political and philanthropic leadership which strengthens our respective communities and our membership by:

  • Educating fraternity members on health issues affecting them and their families

  • Increasing visibility and sense of self-worth by/through serving in the community

  • Involving the membership in fund raising activities that support organizations sharing our vision

  • Promoting health awareness to encourage prevention of health challenges and promote health maintenance


Social Action Partnerships:

  • American Cancer Society (ACS)

  • March of Dimes

  • Sickle Cell Disease Association of America

  • NAACP

  • ALSAC/St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

The Delta Beta Sigma Chapter actively engages in a variety of community service and outreach activities, demonstrating a strong commitment to social responsibility and support for those in need. Some of our efforts include volunteering at the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, participating in the MLK Day Parade alongside other NPHC members, conducting a street clean-up of our adopted street, and partnering with our constitutionally bound sisters, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.
