One of the first acts of public service occurred two months following the founding of Delta Sigma Theta on March 3, 1913.  Delta’s Founders marched in the historic Women's Suffrage March.  As effective and empowering as the march was it was imperative for Delta Sigma Theta to continue pushing legislative initiatives then AND now that affect the communities served by Delta on local, national and international levels.

The goal of the Political Awareness & Involvement Committee is to create programs that educate and empower citizens to get involved and advocate on all legislative levels.  GEAAC has been involved in numerous activities, some of which are identified below:

• Training of its members as Deputy Registrars
