SISTERHOOD | SCHOLARSHIP | SERVICE | SOCIAL ACTION

When 22 collegiate women decided to establish Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, their intent was clear: to establish an organization that was committed to advocating for the rights of marginalized and disenfranchised citizens, particularly the Black community. They used the power of their sisterhood to educate, engage, and empower others as they worked to ensure equality and justice. The Founders’ first act of public service was their participation in the Women’s Suffrage March, which took place March 3, 1913, just a few weeks after the sorority was established.
 
Since that time, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated has continued to focus on addressing issues that affect our communities on a local, regional, national, and international level. For 87 years, the Dayton Alumnae Chapter has initiated and coordinated a number of programs aimed at promoting social action and political awareness and involvement. The chapter has coordinated voter registration drives, hosted voter education forums, participated in Delta Days at the State Capital, Delta Days in the Nation’s Capital, Delta Days at the United Nations and the Annual Dayton area Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. March.
