Miss. Jabberwock/ Mr. Crimson & Cream
The word Jabberwock, copyrighted by Delta Sigma Theta Sorority,
Inc., has evolved in its symbolism over the past eighty years. It represents a
Cotillion program of elegance and entertainment that showcases the gifts and
talents of the young women program participants while advancing the goals and
objectives of the Delta scholarship program. In an interpretation of the
immortal classic, “Alice in Wonderland”, Lewis Carroll created the delightful
character known as “Jabberwock” who summoned all of the creatures in the
kingdom to perform a gala event. Being mindful of this concept, Delta member
Marian G. Conover Hope of the Iota Chapter in Boston, Massachusetts creatively
recalled this mystical character, but in a dramatically different manner, when
faced with the challenge of devising plans for a fundraising project.
Conceptualized in 1925 as a musical variety show that consisted of skits and
dances, the Jabberwock has since evolved into a more diverse program that
continues to raise funds for scholarships. The Southwest Dallas County Alumnae
Chapter has extended the opportunity to young men to be able to showcase their
talents as well, by adding "Mr. Crimson & Cream" to the
pageant's title. The chapter wanted young men to also have opportunities
for scholarships. This year marks the first time that young men have been
invited to participate. We know this is going to be an awesome experience for
all.
