In his classic book,  "Alice in Wonderland," Lewis Carroll created the character known as the Jabberwock. This mythical character called together all the creatures of his kingdom for the purpose of sharing their talents – a gala event.

The first Delta Jabberwock, an idea conceived by Soror Marion Conover of Boston’s Iota Chapter in 1925, began as a means of raising scholarship funds. This member of Iota Chapter presented a variety of performers who competed for monetary prizes. Thus, from this successful venture, Delta Sigma Theta’s Jabberwock event was born and became a part of Delta tradition.

Soon, Iota's annual production was adopted by chapters of the sorority throughout the country. Since that time, innumerable Jabberwocks have been produced by chapters in the United States and abroad. On December 28th, 1947, Jabberwock was formally adopted and copyrighted by Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

The Brooklyn Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta, Sorority, Inc. has produced Jabberwock biennially since 1985's "Dreamer of the Dream" inaugural event. This year’s theme is “My Voice. My Impact. My Future”. Brooklyn Alumnae’s Jabberwock program features educational, cultural, community service, and personal enrichment activities for the participants while also serving as a successful fundraising vehicle for the chapter.

In recognition of her efforts, the young lady raising the highest amount of money is crowned “Miss Jabberwock” and receives a certain percentage of net funds that she and her team raise. For Brooklyn Alumnae, it has become one of the main sources of fundraising for scholarships and special community projects.
