On March 17, 1972, a group of college-educated women chartered the Syracuse Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. These 16 women made a commitment to serve their community and to honor each other as sisters.
Charter Members
The members of the Syracuse Alumnae Chapter are indebted to our Charter Members
for all we have inherited, all we are and for all we will accomplish under the aegis of Delta.
