Ruth Patrick Thomas Scholarship
In October 2024, members of the Delta Epsilon Omega chapter celebrated a landmark event at the home of sorority member Ruth Patrick Thomas. The chapter honored her extraordinary legacy by naming its high school scholarship after her, sponsored by Delta Epsilon Omega and the Nebraska Ivy Foundation.
“Through this dedication, Delta Epsilon Omega celebrates decades of service and commitment to education, excellence and community leadership,” chapter president Anita Johnson said.
Ruth Patrick Thomas, the chapter’s only Diamond member with 75+ years of service to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., holds a unique place in history as the first Black member of the Omaha School Board. Her trailblazing career as an educator, activist and mortician continues to inspire.
