President

The sorority sponsors a national juvenile delinquency project which functions throughout the United States. Different aspects have been highlighted through special projects such as: Foster Home Care, Youth Conferences, Vocational Guidance Clinics, Tinker Shops, and the development of youth groups. There is a six-point African project jointly sponsored by the chapters in America and Africa. In such a way, better understanding has been developed between the two continents.

As a non-profit corporation incorporated in Washington, D.C. and also in the state of Illinois, the sorority is supported only by annual dues paid by its members for operating expenses. Scholarships are donated annually from a special fund contributed by chapter members.

Since Soror Arizona Cleaver, there have been fifteen national (or international) presidents: Soror Myrtle Tyler-Faithful, Joanna Houston-Ransom, Nellie Buchanan, Dr. S. Evelyn Lewis, Ruth Tappe-Scruggs, Fannie R. Givens, Violette Anderson, Nellie Rogers, Edith Lyons, Blanche Thompson, Lullelia W. Harrison, Dr. Nancy Bullock McGhee, Dr. Deborah Cannon Wolfe and Mildred C. Bradham.
