National History On
January 13, 1913 on the campus of Howard University twenty-two young, scholarly,
and ambitious black women founded what is today become the largest black greek
letter organization for African American women. These young women wanted to use
their collective strength to promote academic excellence and to provide
assistance to persons in need. Our founders were interested in establishing an
organization committed to the promotion of high cultural, intellectual, and
moral standards among its members for its own benefits as well as for that of
the larger society in which it existed. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority is dedicated to the ideals of Sisterhood, Scholarship, and Public Service. In accordance with these ideals, Delta has established a long and glorious history of educational, cultural, political and social service in the public’s interest.
Delta operates
under a Five Point Program Thrust:
Today our glorious Sisterhood has a membership of over 200,000 predominately African American college educated women. The Sorority currently has over 900 chapters located in the United States, Japan, Germany, Bermuda, Haiti, Liberia, the Bahamas, the Republic of Korea, and the Virgin Islands.
