Recognizing the members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., for their outstanding service to the citizens of our state, our nation, and the international community and for their promotion of sisterhood, scholarship and service.
Senate Resolution 1733 is a ceremonial resolution recognizing the members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. for their service to Kansas, the nation, and the international community. The resolution highlights the sorority’s founding in 1913 at Howard University, its early participation in the Woman Suffrage Procession, and its long-standing mission centered on economic development, educational development, international awareness, physical and mental health, and political awareness and involvement.
The resolution also notes Delta Sigma Theta’s presence in Kansas through eight chapters and its broader reach across the United States and several other countries and territories. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to send enrolled copies of the resolution to named Kansas members and legislators, formally expressing the Senate’s appreciation for the organization’s work and its values of sisterhood, scholarship, and service.
SR1733 does not amend or create any state law, change agency authority, or impose any regulatory or fiscal requirements. Its legal effect is limited to a formal legislative commendation and the transmission of enrolled copies to designated recipients. The practical impact is symbolic, honoring Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and publicly associating the Kansas Senate with support for its community service, civic engagement, and educational mission.
The sentiment around the resolution is strongly positive and celebratory. The bill is framed entirely as a recognition measure, and the sponsorship by Senators Oletha Faust Goudeau and David Haley suggests support from its legislative champions. No votes, committee objections, or opposing testimony are provided, and the text contains no controversy or policy dispute.
There is no substantive contention reflected in the bill text or available context. Because SR1733 is a ceremonial resolution, the only possible point of discussion would be the choice of honoree and the inclusion of specific recipients for enrolled copies, but no opposition, amendment, or debate is documented. The measure appears to have been adopted without recorded conflict.
