Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (ΔΣΘ), is a non-profit Greek-lettered sorority of college-educated women dedicated to performing public service in underserved communities, but with special attention to serving African American communities. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., was founded on January 13, 1913, at Howard University by twenty-two young women. Today, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority is one of the largest African-American Greek-lettered sororities in the world. Membership in Delta Sigma Theta is open to any woman who meets the membership requirements, regardless of race, nationality, or religion. Women may join through undergraduate chapters at a college or university, or after acquiring a college degree through a graduate chapter.

A sisterhood of more than 200,000 predominately African-American, college-educated women, the Sorority currently has over 950 chapters located in the United States, U.S. Virgin Islands, Republic of Korea, Japan (Tokyo and Okinawa), Jamaica, Haiti, Germany, England, Bermuda, and the Bahamas.

The major programs of the sorority are based upon the organization's Five Point Programmatic Thrust.

Delta Sigma Theta is a member of multiple organizations, including the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) — an organization of nine international Greek-letter sororities and fraternities - as well as the NAACP, and the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW). The current national president is Cynthia M. A. Butler-McIntyre.
