Glen Burnie, Maryland resident, Christine Davenport sought out members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., who were North County residents. Recognizing an increase in the minority population, Christine was determined to explore the possibility of chartering a chapter in northern Anne Arundel County. As local Deltas learned about others who lived in and around Glen Burnie, Soror Davenport's efforts resulted in the final move toward establishing a local sisterhood. 

​

And so, on April 16, 1989, the North Arundel County Alumnae Chapter (NACAC) of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. was chartered by twenty-seven dynamic women, determined to make a difference in the community. Madeline Lawson, then Eastern Regional Director, officiated at the chartering ceremony. Deltas from many Maryland chapters came to participate, exuding the warmth of sisterhood that is so characteristic of the organization. The charter members were especially honored to have the 16th National President, Dr. Thelma T. Daley, in attendance at this momentous event.
