Who was named the first president of Delta Sigma Theta's Alpha Chapter?

Myra Davis Hemmings
Harriet Tubman
Michelle Obama
Coretta Scott King

The correct answer is: Myra Davis Hemmings

Myra Davis Hemmings was appointed as the first president of the Alpha Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, which was established on January 13, 1913, at Howard University. Her leadership helped to lay the foundation for the sorority's goals of public service, scholarship, and sisterhood among African American women, addressing the needs of their communities and emphasizing social welfare. The other individuals listed, while notable figures in history and advocacy, did not have a direct association with the founding of Delta Sigma Theta or serve in this specific leadership role within the organization. Harriet Tubman is renowned for her role in the Underground Railroad, Michelle Obama is celebrated for her years as First Lady and her advocacy work, and Coretta Scott King is revered for her activism in civil rights and as the widow of Martin Luther King Jr. Their significant contributions to society do not link them to the presidency of the Alpha Chapter.
