The Natchitoches Alumnae Chapter and the Iota Mu Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is proud to present the 34th Annual Beautillion Gala at 6 p.m. on Sunday, April 19 at the Natchitoches Events Center. With this year’s theme, “From Roots to Royalty: Crowned for Greatness,” the 2026 Beautillion is more than just a formal celebration—it is a journey of empowerment.
Beautillion provides young men with a platform to develop leadership skills, foster personal growth, and contribute to the betterment of the community. Over the course of the program, participants engage in activities designed to promote academic success, mentorship, civic engagement, and personal development. The culmination of their hard work and dedication will be celebrated during the Beautillion, where each Beau will be formally introduced to the community.
We proudly present four outstanding young men selected to participate in the Beautillion Gala, where they will be formally recognized for their achievements. The presentation will include a performance of the beaux and their female escorts, a mother and son presentation, and a tribute to the beaux recognizing their outstanding achievements.
We are honored to introduce the Beaux of the 2026 Beautillion:
- Christian Frazier – Future Attorney
- Davonte Middleton – Future Law Enforcement Officer
- Stethan Chatman – Future Firefighter
- William Johnson, Jr. – Future Welding Professional
“We are thrilled to celebrate the achievements of our Beaux and to highlight the incredible work they have done throughout the program,” said Ke’Nesha Coats, Chapter President. “This event is a testament to their dedication, hard work, and commitment to making a positive impact in the community. We look forward to an inspiring evening that honors their accomplishments and sets the stage for their future success.”
The proceeds from the Beautillion provides scholarships and financial awards to deserving high school seniors and fund other programming, including the Annual Prayer Breakfast, College Tours, Financial Literacy, American Heart Association, Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy & GEMS (Growing & Empowering Myself Successfully) Program, Delta’s Book project, Breast Cancer Awareness, Sickle Cell Awareness, March of Dimes, and HIV/AIDS Awareness, as well as a range of other worthwhile local, national and international awareness projects.
