Washington DC Alumnae Chapter

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated

Chartered: February 3, 1921

Washington DC Alumnae's Five Point Programs

Since its founding in 1913 Delta Sigma Theta has clearly distinguished itself as a public service organization that boldly confronts the challenges of African Americans and, hence, all Americans. Over the years, a wide range of programs addressing education, health, international development, and strengthening of the African American family have evolved. In realizing its mission, Delta Sigma Theta provides an extensive array of public service initiatives through its Five-Point Program Thrust of Economic Development, Educational Development, International Awareness and Involvement, Physical and Mental Health, and Political Awareness and Involvement.

Since its chartering in February 1921, the Washington DC Alumnae Chapter (WDCAC) of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., has mirrored its programs of community service in the clearly distinguished image of its National organization, which in dramatic fashion, clearly confront the challenges of African-Americans and their families. During the past 88 years, WDCAC has worked tirelessly to develop and to implement a wide range of empowering programs and initiatives that emulate its shared mission with that of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Through the years the creative approaches by the Chapter to solve the problems of youth motivation have been through Job Opportunity and Library projects and a willingness to share skills and material goods through Volunteers for Community Service has represented significant achievement. "Woman hours" and financial assistance have been given to the following organizations: Junior Village, YWCA, NAACP, NCNW, Urban League, American Red Cross, The College Fund, the Girl Scouts of America, United Givers Fund, Southeast Boys Club, Health and Welfare Council, Iona Whipper Home, International Student House, Hospital for Sick Children, Washington Center for Aging Citizens, and the Tower Girls.
