The nation’s largest African American sorority has been convening this week in Washington D.C. According to WaPo, their guest speaker this afternoon was the Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton. Delta Sigma Theta, which boasts an enormous membership including many celebrity names, drew 40,000 members to the capital this week for their 100th anniversary according to WaPo.
