Delta Sigma Theta was founded on January 13, 1913 at Howard University in Washington D.C. by twenty-two young visionary African-American women that pledged to serious endeavors and community service. Their ideas of scholarship and service have withstood the test of time, and today Delta Sigma Theta is a public service sorority. Our founders were interested in establishing an organization committed to the promotion of high cultural, intellectual, and moral standards among its members for its own benefits as well as for that of the larger society in which it existed. Those 22 founders started a rich tradition of promoting personal excellence and social progress that continues today.  

          The ladies of the Beta Epsilon Chapter are committed to upholding the purpose and vision of our dynamic organization by implementing programs that will effectively improve the quality of life on our campus and surrounding communities.  While doing so, we will adhere to the immaculate standards of the five point programmatic thrust. It is our objective to support Delta’s local, national, and international networks by engaging in cultural, educational, and public service activities. It is also our duty to promote and encourage high achievement in education.

          In the words of our immediate past President, Dr. Louise Allen Rice, it is our responsibility and desire to be “Good to Delta.” Throughout this year we will be good to Delta and continue to uphold the legacy by being unassuming servants of this great organization!
