Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is a sisterhood of black, college-educated women committed to public service. Although Delta Sigma Theta is a historically black sorority, membership is open to all who are committed to the goals of the organization. The purpose of Delta is to provide assistance and support through established programs in local communities throughout the world. 
Chapter Officers
The major programs of the sorority are based upon the organization's Five Point Thrust of:
The Sorority was founded in 1913 by 22 students at Howard University. These young women wanted to use their collective strength to promote academic excellence; to provide scholarships; to provide support to the underserved; educate and stimulate participation in the establishment of positive public policy; and to highlight issues and provide solutions for problems in their communities.
Delta Sigma Theta is governed by the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) along with 8 other historically black fraternities and sororities. We do not follow the same rush process as sororities under the NPC.
Delta is interested in women who are willing to be committed to a lifetime of public service to achieve the goals of the sorority. Membership in Delta Sigma Theta does not end when you graduate from college, it is truly a lifetime commitment.
Tau Omega Chapter History
The Tau Omega Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. was chartered on April 23, 2005 at Roanoke College located in Salem, Virginia. This chapter is a joint chapter comprised of women from the campuses of Roanoke College, Washington and Lee University, and Hollins University. The chartering of this chapter brought the first historically black sorority to each of the three campuses. Realizing the need for a strong foundation, the highly dedicated women of this chapter focused on internal development during the chapter’s first year in existence. The chapter has been involved in a host of programs, projects, lectures, and events concerning local and national activities, issues, and concerns.
The first line to cross into Tau Omega Chapter was The Four Elements of DSTruction on April 5, 2006: Valtavia Collins, Samantha Drain, TeNeal Griffin, Dominique Lamb.
