Sorors, As we undertake the work of Delta, be sure that you are thinking and leading in a godly manner!

The Irony of Spiritual Leadership"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."  Proverbs 3:5-6

Chapters 2 and 3 of Proverbs pose an apparent paradox in spiritual leadership.  We are to get wisdom and understanding, yet we are not to lean on it apart from the Lord.  Even good wisdom divorced from God can become a snare.  So how are godly leaders to think?

They think:     Big: They realize God's vision is usually bigger than their's.     Other people: They always include others in the mix.     Continually: They're not satisfied with today's answers.     Bottom line: They want to see results and fruit.     Continual growth: They want to keep improving.     Without lines: They let God outside of the box.     Victory: They want to see God's rule come to earth.     Intuitively: They have a sense of what will work.     Servanthood: They want to serve and add value to people.     Quickly: They evaluate quickly and see possible answers.

Excerpt from The Maxwell Leadership Bible

Condolences to Soror Shirley Franklin and FamilyWe extend our sincere sympathy, sisterly love and heartfelt prayers to our Honorary Member and former Mayor of Atlanta, Soror Shirley Franklin, in the loss of her son, Cabral Franklin.  Mr. Franklin passed away on September 15, 2015. Please keep Soror Franklin and family in your thoughts and prayers. 

Reminder to Chapter PresidentsThe weekly Mid Week Message is emailed directly to Chapter Presidents. It is the President's responsibility to promptly forward the email to all of the members of your chapter.

Important Requests from Regional Heritage and Archives Committee

The 2011-2016 Southern Regional Heritage and Archives Committee is working diligently to present Volume II of the Southern Region's History.  Volume I was completed under Soror Verdelle Bellamy's administration (1982-1986).  The Committee would like to thank the 2007-2010 Regional Heritage and Archives Committee for the extensive amount of work done under Soror Christine Nixon's administration (2007-2010)!  Building upon this work, we are seeking Sorors with the needed skill sets to accomplish this task. Additionally, we are requesting that all chapters access the Chapter History Template and update your Chapter's information by Saturday, October 31!  Please click the links below for the Chapter History Template and information regarding how to apply to be a volunteer with the Southern Region's Historical Book.Application and Guidelines for Historical Book VolunteersChapter History Template
