January 13, 1913 marked the dawn of a new horizon in
the history of black women. On that day, twenty-two
phenomenal young women from Howard University set the
foundation for what is now one of the largest Black
women's organizations in the world-Delta Sigma Theta
Sorority, Incorporated.
Inspired by the need for change, these women combined
their strengths under the principles of scholarship, sisterhood, and service.
Ninety-four years later Delta Sigma Theta remains,
unmatched in her dedication to scholarship and public
service. Now more than 250,000 women share in the rich
legacy of our illustrious founders:
