    Our History

    Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. was founded on January 13, 1913 by 22 collegiate women at Howard University. These students wanted to use their collective strength to promote academic excellence and to provide assistance to those in need. In March of 1913, the Founders of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. performed their first public act. They participated in the Women’s Suffrage March in Washington, D.C.

    The Grand Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. has a membership of over 200,000 predominately African American, college-educated women, with 900-plus chapters located in countries throughout the world.
