March of 1913, nearly six weeks after its founding, several
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Founders marched in the historic Suffragist
March under the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. banner, the Sorority’s first
public act, solidifying Delta’s call to social action


Remember the 22!

Each of Delta’s programmatic initiatives has an advocacy component that is implemented under the auspices of social action when it is appropriate or necessary to do so.

Under the auspices of the National Social Action Commission, the Syracuse Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. continues to institute activities that foster strategies and ways for sorors to be engaged during this difficult time. 

SAC follows a list of several actions for members to
engage and be more knowledgeable about as we embark on
personal commitments to social activism.
