Scholarship
Honoring our past through our commitment to academic excellence.
​
The Xi Tau Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.’s Lena D. Bruce/Anita Y. Griffey Scholarship has been awarded to a female high school senior in the Cambridge Area in order to give her the opportunity to have a deserving collegiate experience. Please join us in honoring our founders' devotion to education by participating in future fundraisers, where the proceeds will go to our Lena Delores Bruce/Anita Yvette Griffey Scholarship Fund.

Soror Bruce was robbed and murdered in the security of her own home. Every year, our chapter remembers her with a candlelight vigil. We hold programs that speak out about violence against women in her memory. Soror Bruce was a recent Tufts graduate. She graduated from Tufts with a degree in electrical engineering. She was the only black woman in her class of nearly 250 students.
Soror Griffey passed away in an unfortunate car accident as a senior at Tufts University. She was committed to bettering the Tufts community and served as the president of the African American Society her senior year. Those who were fortunate enough to get to know her describe her as a person who made things happen. Through this scholarship, her energy and spirit lives on.
May our Sorors rest in peace.
