Delta Sigma Theta was founded on January 13th, 1913 at Howard University by 22 founders with a vision for public service. In Madison alone, there are 70 chapters of Delta Sigma Theta.The organizations values are summed up in their Five Point Programmatic Thrust: Economic Development, Educational Development, International Awareness and Involvement, Physical and Mental Health, and Political Awareness and Involvement.
