“This year, we proudly celebrate 112 years of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated by honoring the resilient, impactful, unwavering and empowering legacy of our fraternity,” the sorority wrote on its Instagram page.

With this year's theme, “Forward With Courage: Together We Rise,” we pause to reflect on the bold vision of our 22 illustrious founders and the everlasting impact of our sisterhood. »
Founded by 22 women at Howard University in 1913, this legendary organization was born from a collective desire to promote academic excellence while providing assistance to those in need.
In March 1913, the Founders performed their first public act by participating in the Women's Suffrage March in Washington, DC.
For over a century, they have provided support through established programs in local communities around the world.
Since its inception, more than 300,000 women have joined the sisterhood of predominantly black, college-educated women.
Today, the globally revered sorority has 1,000 collegiate and alumni chapters located in the United States, Canada, Japan (Tokyo and Okinawa), Germany, the Virgin Islands, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Jamaica and in the Republic of Korea.
Notable members of the organization include Cicely Tyson, Shirley Chisholm, Aretha Franklin, Angela Bassett, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Mara Brock Akil, Andra Day, Keshia Knight Pulliam, Brandee Evans, K. Michelle, Ledisi and many others engaged in the constructive development of its members and public service with a primary focus on the black community.
