The founders of Delta Sigma Theta, Sorority, Inc. are a
group of twenty-two college educated women who
envisioned an organization that went beyond
self-fulfillment. These courageous women wanted an
organization that focused more upon the social issues of
their time, in lieu of creating one that would cater to
social whims of the community. Along with their concerns
for the welfare of human beings, they also promoted
academic excellence and wanted to culturally enrich
community life. Although these twenty-two women shared
similar values and concerns for humankind, they were
each individuals who possessed their own unique inner
and outer strengths. These strengths ultimately came
together to produce one flame and one vision for which
the torch will burn forever...
