To further its goals, Delta Sigma Theta operates under a "Five Point Program Thrust":
As an organization Delta Sigma Theta has traditionally addressed the issues of the time. In 1913, our founders marched among thousands of others for women's sufferage and in 1980 in Washington, D.C., Soror Founder Bertha Pitts Cambell and then National President, Mona H. Bailey, led 8,000 Deltas in a reenactment of that historic march. On March 26th, 1995 Deltas also participated in a march commemorating the 75th anniversary of Women's sufferage. Currently, Delta's national programs include, but are not limited to:
Today, our great sisterhood consists of almost 900 chapter in the United States and abroad and is the largest predominantly Black fraternal organization in the world. Sustained by the bonds of sisterhood, the challenges and successes of over 80 years inspire over 200,000 members today, and assure us that our organization and its efforts will continue making history through every member's unique contribution of skill and spirit.
