Delta GEMS (Growing and Empowering Myself Successfully)
Our Delta GEMS program provides tools that enable girls within our service area the ability to sharpen and enhance their skills so that they will be better equipped to achieve high levels of academic success. As well, the GEMS program creates compassionate, caring, and community minded young women by actively involving them in service learning and community service opportunities.

​

May Week
This is a period in May of each year when scholastic achievements, educational opportunities and encouragement of higher scholarship is recognized. During the annual May week program, the Richland County Alumnae chapter awards scholarships to deserving high school and collegiate students and recognizes the participation of  Delta GEMS participants.

Arts and Letters Oratorical Contest 

The award-winning Oratorical Contest is an annual event, which provides middle school students in the service area the opportunity to enhance their public speaking skills, promote self-confidence, aid in educational enrichment, and facilitate character building.

​

Red Dress Luncheon 

The Red Dress Luncheon event falls under our Program Planning and Development initiative of the Five-Point Programmatic Thrust.  It serves as an opportunity to educate and bring awareness to Heart Disease.  We have set aside the month of February to kick off “Healthy Heart Month” and our program is scheduled for every first Saturday of February.  We look forward to growing this initiative by collaborating with other local organizations and city-wide programs to extend our celebration.   It’s another opportunity for RCA to support our communities and address the growing demands of heart disease.
