Delta
Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (Click the DST logo to visit the homepage.) Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., is an incorporated body of college educated African American women dedicated to public service. The history of Delta Sigma Theta is a tribute to the spirit and imagination of twenty-two visionary college women who founded the Sorority. These scholarly women, dedicated to a high standard of morality organized the sisterhood based on Christian principles on the campus of Howard University in Washington D.C. on January 13, 1913. This vision lives within the administration of each succeeding National President. Today, the National focus is not only academic excellence among its members, but also on the educational enrichment, cultural awareness, and social welfare of the least advantaged in American Society. Emancipation was barely 50 years old when Delta was founded and vital public issues such as universal education, voter registration, legal protections for the indigent, voting rights for women, access to health facilities, economic independence and elderly assistance were particular concerns of the dynamic young Founders. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, then and now, is committed 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 based on a Five-Point Programmatic Thrust. Each chapter is responsible to implement local Programs to respond to the Five-Point Trust on the local level.
Today, our glorious Sisterhood has a membership of over 200,000 predominately African American, college-educated women. The Sorority currently has 900-plus chapters in seven regions located in the United States, Japan, Germany, Bermuda, Haiti, Liberia, the Bahamas, the Republic of Korea, and the Virgin Islands.
