Committed to Public Service
Our sorority’s public service focus is built around its
Five-Point Programmatic Thrust:
• Economic Development
• Educational Development
• International Awareness and Involvement
• Physical and Mental Health
• Political Awareness and Involvement
Since its founding in 1913, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. has clearly distinguished itself as a public service organization that boldly confronts the challenges of African Americans and, hence, all Americans.
Undergraduate and alumnae chapters develop programs that address areas of need within the local, as well as, the international community. Since 1983, the Bloomington-Normal Alumnae Chapter continues to be “committed to public service in the twin cities.”
