National History			Theta Tau History
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was founded on January 13, 1913 by twenty-two collegiate women at Howard University. These students wanted to use their collective  strengths to promote academic excellence and to provide assistance to persons in need. The first public act performed by our Delta Founders involved their participation in the  Women's Suffrage March in Washington D.C., March 1913. Delta Sigma Theta was incorporated in 1930.
