President’s Message
Greetings and Welcome to the official website for the Quaker City Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.!
It’s been 50 years since Quaker City Alumnae (QCA) was chartered, October 17, 1976, on the campus of La Salle University here in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As we celebrate this milestone, we also salute our twenty-eight Charter Members, who took the bold and courageous step to start a new chapter; seeing that there were more needs that they should meet. And for five decades, Quaker City Alumnae has served the city, providing enriching programs to help educate and strengthen Philadelphia communities.
Aligned with the Sorority’s Five-Point Programmatic Thrust of Economic Development, Educational Development, International Awareness and Involvement, Physical and Mental Health, and Political Awareness and Involvement, Quaker City Alumnae aspires to bring quality programming to the community that improves the quality of life for every individual. As one of the more than 100 chapters in the Dynamic and Historic Eastern Region that is driven to “PRESS FORWARD with Purpose, Sisterhood, & Service,” Quaker City Alumnae is committed to increasing our member engagement, sisterly connections, and community impact.
Remember to visit us here or on our social media platforms to “Stay in the Know” regarding our programs and events. If you are a soror in need of a chapter home, come visit us and consider becoming a member of Quaker City Alumnae. Thank you again for visiting our website.
We Are QCA – Honoring Our Past, Celebrating Our Present, Preparing for Our Future!
Yours In Service,
Tonya Eason Ross, 2026-2028 Chapter President
