Iota Alpha's eleven charter members were: Patricia Gibson, Saranna Tucker, Karen Washington, Adrian Vaughn, Betty Toliver, Janis Smith, Deborah Winfree, Sandra Johnson, Joyce Richeson, Estelia \"DeDe\" Jackson, and Barbara Coleman.","Delta Sigma Theta is a service-oriented sorority that emphasizes its Five-Point Programmatic Thrust which comprises economic development, educational development, community and international development, housing and urban development and mental health. The sorority's official colors are crimson and cream and its mascot is the elephant. Members are referred to as sorors. In photographs, sorors are frequently pictured making the triangle sign with their hands.","Francine Toliver Edwards solicited content from Iota Alpha sorors that would form an archival collection documenting the history, members, and activities of the Iota Alpha Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. from its charter in 1971 to the present. Materials in this assembled collection originate from many different creators, all sorors and members of the Iota Alpha chapter.","Items without documented individual creators/donors were donated to the chapter at various points in the past and held in storage by the sorority prior to their being donated to Special Collections as part of the 50th anniversary collection.","The assembled collection was exhibited during the anniversary weekend at the April 30 legacy gala held at James Madison University's Hall of Presidents, and additional items were added to the collection by attendees. ","Many of the items were accompanied by a slip of paper identifying the item and its donor. Those papers were retained with their respective items.","The 20th anniversary banner was treated to remove newspaper that was stuck to the back of the sheet.","Notecards written using the prompt \"What Does Delta Sigma Theta Mean to You\" were originally attached to a paper banner created in celebration of the sorority's 100th Founders Day. Due to its deteriorating physical condition, the banner was discarded. The notecards were retained.","Framed items were removed from their frames and, when appropriate, the frames were discarded.","The three optical media disks underwent an initial review for content but were not fully processed and are therefore not immediately available to researchers. ","The collection consists of materials, primarily photographs, scrapbooks, memorabilia, and clothing, compiled and collected by members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Iota Alpha chapter. The materials were donated on the occasion of the chapter's 50th anniversary which it celebrated in May 2022.","Photograph albums and scrapbooks document community service activities and fundraisers, Adopt-A-Highway trash clean-up, car washes, probate (new member presentation), parties and formal events, fashion shows, commencement, picnics and cookouts, national convention, and step shows. Newspaper clippings, new members lists with their respective line names, and event programs are also included.","The collection also includes pieces of clothing - varsity jackets, hats, t-shirts - with Delta Sigma Theta branding. Objects and memorabilia include a trophy, banner, pillows, paddles, and a customized Delta Sigma Theta doll.","Three optical media disks contain audio and video production elements likely used for public performances or step shows.","Founder's Week button, 1987; 75th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee button, 1988","List of members and their respective line names that was posted on campus.","Envelope includes the customer's last name - \"Jones-Quartey.\" This likely refers to Naa Kwale Jones-Quartey ('99) who was a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
