How Are We Protecting Our Elders from Financial Abuse
TAC’s Economic Development committee hosted “How Are We Protecting Our Elders from Financial Abuse”. This event was highly informative and provided valuable insights for all ages. If you missed it, you missed a valuable opportunity. This event was exceptionally well-presented.
International Awareness and Involvement
Brims and Bow Ties: Mingling for Mental Health
👒 TAC’s Brims and Bowties: Mingling for Mental Health was amazing! TAC gathered along with the community to raise awareness, encourage dialogue, share insights, and advocate for meaningful change. Dr. Shelton shared insight on removing the stigma in black communities and also provided tips for selfcare.
In addition, we had a special presentation on international involvement by our very own Delta Academy and Delta GEMS that showcased highlights from a Penpal activity where they partnered with our Southern Regional Representative.
TAC Rocks Our Red for the Cause
It's World AIDS Day and TAC Rocks our Red for the cause! Thank you to the students and staff of ICC Health Science building of Tupelo for allowing TAC to bring awareness to HIV/AIDS!
Physical and Mental Health
Pink Goes Red for Women’s Heart Health
It was an honor to team up with our sisters in pink to raise awareness for heart health. We didn’t worry about which sorority either belonged to but focused on heart health and ways to live a healthier life! We sweated, danced, and laugh! We definitely got our hearts pumped up during MixxedFit with Teri Price! This event was pretty devastatingly fun!

Special shout out to our sister Sonya DL for helping us burn a few calories with the fitness factor of line dancing while having fun! Also, shout out to our guest speakers, Shirlette Judon and

Political Awareness and Involvement
Selma 60
Thank you Selma, Alabama for your hospitality and allowing us to walk in the footsteps of some of the GREATEST leaders known to date! On yesterday, TAC and Holly Springs Alumnae Chapter marched alongside our fellow D9 family and others as we answered the call to repeat history on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday and Passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was an experience to remember. To feel the vibration of impactful footsteps, to hear the songs of negro spirituals, and to see the history marked by our respectful leaders encouraged us to continue to keep the dream alive and to always make “Good Trouble”.
