Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is a private, non-profit organization whose purpose is to provide assistance and support through established programs in local communities throughout the world. The organization was founded on January 13, 1913 by 22 collegiate women at Howard University in Washington, D.C. A sisterhood of more than 250,000 predominately Black college educated women, the Sorority currently has over 950 chapters located in the United States, England, Japan, Germany, the Virgin Islands, Bermuda, the Bahamas and the Republic of Korea. The major programs of the sorority are based upon the organization’s Five-Point Programmatic Thrust which consists of Economic Development, Educational Development, International Awareness & Involvement, Physical & Mental Health and Political Awareness & Involvement. With over 200 members, the Cincinnati Alumnae Chapter continues the legacy of the Sorority’s illustrious founders and its charter members by providing numerous public service initiatives within the Greater Cincinnati area. Therefore, the chapter’s reach extends far beyond its membership. In recent years, our local programs have experienced considerable growth and we want to ensure that our efforts continue to be made available in our community at no cost to those who benefit.  In addition, the number of scholarship applicants and students in need has more than doubled. In order to maintain the significant impact that our organizations have had in the Cincinnati community, our chapter’s fundraisers supplement the funding needed for these essential programs.
