Ladies Of Dst “working The Corner” For A Good Cause

The ladies of Grambling Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., "worked the corner" at RWE Jones and College Ave prior to the start of the GSU versus Tuskegee football game. This was the Tiger’s home opener and lots of fans were streaming onto campus. These 50-70- and 80-year-old sisters took advantage of the beautiful afternoon to sign wave to passing motorists, encouraging them to Register, Prepare and Vote.

There were plenty of honks, hellos and a set of screeching tires from a semi that had to make a sudden stop. The sorority’s theme for this election season is "Make Early Voting a Habit." The turnout within their 6-parish service area has been pretty dismal these last few years and that is something they are working to change. Voters tend to turnout decently during the Presidential elections but slack off in the off years. It is their goal to change that narrative and work to see a 80-90% turnout of qualified voters as well as increase registration numbers.
