On January 13, 1913 on the campus of Howard University twenty-two women had a vision of a sorority for African American women who would dedicate their lives to helping others. With hard work and determination these 22 scholars founded the Alpha Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Today, 86 years later, their vision is still seen by over 200,000 college educated women in 915 chapters.
The sorors of the Alpha Xi Chapter dedicate this page to our glorious founders, commemorating their ambition, dedication, and sisterly love.
