Delta History |
At the inception of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated in 1913 at Howard University, the founders envisioned an organization of college-educated women pledged to a serious endeavor of community service. The founders of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated demonstrated a vital concern for social welfare, academic excellence and cultural enrichment, and DE-emphasized the social side of sorority life. Their ideals of scholarship and service have withstood the test of time, and today, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated is a public service organization committed to a program of sharing membership skills and services in the interest of the public. Delta Sigma Theta is the largest Black Greek-lettered sorority in the world with over 200,000 members and 900 chapters. |
