“We are excited to be hosting Delta NetFest for its second year,” remarks Shawnette Smith, President of the Bermuda Alumnae Chapter. “Aligned to the Sorority’s programmatic thrust of Physical and Mental Health, the sport of Netball promotes physical wellness, supports the development of problem-solving skills, motivates team building, and encourages self-confidence. These positive attributes are what the Sorority endeavors to teach young women in the communities that we service.”
