The DREF Sister Scholars Advisory Council’s National Reading Circle encourages all to check out the 2026 Summer Reading List. The book Committee is encouraging our young Sorors to read more. So, we invited the Midwest Regional Representative, Ms. Ryleigh Clayborn, to share her favorite books that would be of interest to our Delta Dolls and young readers! In collaboration with the Sister Scholars Advisory Council, this list is carefully curated for your education and pleasure. Visit: https://deltafoundation.net/national-reading-circle/ to make your selection(s). Enjoy. #DST1913, #DREF, #DREFSisterScholars, #SummerReading2026 #YoungReaders #DeltaDolls ...

DREF is pleased to announce the 2026-2027 Community Empowerment Grant recipients. This year in keeping with the Foundation’s focus on Economic Empowerment for 2026-2027, the Delta Research and Educational Foundation awarded grants to chapters for programs that empower African American women and their families through economic uplift.
A program can be conducted by a Delta chapter or sponsored in partnership with a community-based organization that has a similar mission and goals as those of DREF or the Sorority; the community-based organization must have a 501(c)(3) non-profit status. The next application period will begin in November 2026. Chapters are not provided grants in two consecutive years.
