In 1912, some of the members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority (AKA) at Howard University decided to form a new separate sorority. In 1913, this group formed Delta Sigma Theta. Alpha Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta was founded on January 13, 1913 and the first public service act the founders participated in was the Women's Suffrage March on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C., March 1913. Alpha Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was incorporated February 1913. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Grand Chapter was incorporated seventeen years later in 1930 .
Today, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is the largest African-American Greek-lettered Sorority in the world. The Grand Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority has a membership of over 250,000 predominantly African American, college-educated women. The sorority currently has 950-plus alumnae and collegiate chapters located in the United States, Tokyo, Okinawa, Germany; Bermuda, the Bahamas; Seoul, Saint Thomas and Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands; and Jamaica.
