WHAT SORORS ARE SAYING
Tonjalyn Buchanan-Owens
1st Vice President
Central North Alabama Alumnae Chapter“One Delta, One Voice may seem like a motto or theme but for Necole Jones, it’s a part of who she is as the youngest President and 2nd President of Shelby County Tennessee Alumnae Chapter, in it’s formative years. She went on to become State Coordinator. She is a compassionate, creative and understanding leader with great wisdom, character and strength. Under her leadership Shelby County Tennessee Alumnae was able to grow and flourish and they continue to grow and thrive today because of who she is.”
“Having worked with Soror Jones as a chapter member during her tenure as Chapter President, and now serving as her current Chapter President, I have a full circle view of her style. Her tenacity to see things through as efficiently as possible and that ability to empower others has been clear over the 15+ years I have worked with her. She walks pretty quietly, but is very intentional and focused with leadership goals.”
Florence Hervery
President 2025-Present
Shelby County (TN) Alumnae Chapter“It was a pleasure to work with Necole Jones during Delta Fellows Cohort 4. Through her team’s Capstone Project, I saw firsthand her ability to lead with purpose and clarity while helping elevate International Awareness & Involvement, including greater awareness of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.’s seven IAI projects and the Sustainability Initiative. Necole has a thoughtful way of turning important ideas into work that can resonate with chapters and members across the sisterhood.”

Nassau, Bahamas Alumnae Chapter“Necole Jones is the perfect example of a leader.
She has always been approachable, honest, happy to educate without belittling others, and the best at tackling any problem. She is down to earth, unbiased, and the most creative person I know. A good leader is one you desire to follow without being told. That’s my mentor, Necole Jones.”
Maya McBride

She can relate to the needs of Sorors because she has done the work. She has the leadership acumen, integrity, and dedication required and I am confident she is the right leader at the right time for the Southern Region. ”

“I have known Necole Jones since 2014, then we later served as State Coordinators together, and I have consistently been impressed by her work ethic, attention to detail, and ability to execute at a high level. She is hardworking, conscientious, and dependable—someone who gets the job done without the need for fanfare. Her first year serving as State Coordinator, she simultaneously led the Shelby County (TN) Alumnae Chapter as President, guiding it through an award-winning year, which speaks volumes about her leadership capacity and commitment to excellence.”
