The sisters of sorority sister, the Delta Chi, have taken the plunge into a new social life after the women said they could no longer join sorority sisters’ events because of an illness.
Delta Chi’s founder, Julie Chen, told The Hollywood Reporter that sorority members who are on their own and have not yet been diagnosed with cancer, will now be able to attend events that benefit the sisters.
The sisters’ social events will also feature new speakers and activities, which will be hosted by local and national organizations.
“We can’t go to parties, we can’t get on social media, we cannot attend sorority dinners, we have to stay home, and we have been told we can not do anything like that,” Chen said.
The Delta Chi are the oldest sorority in the US, and the sisters have been a part of sororations for more than 30 years.
The sisters are active in various organizations, including the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, The National Organization for Women, The Catholic Women’s Association and the National Organization of Black Women.
The sisters also plan to use the funds raised for the Delta Phi chapter to help their local chapters, according to the report.
Chen said that the Delta Sigma Chi sorority will not close and will remain in existence until she has all of the sisters’ health issues resolved.
The sisterhood has also announced that it will donate its funds to support women’s health initiatives and programs, as well as supporting the Delta Pi chapter, which is in the process of hiring a new sorority president.
