Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
As a sisterhood of over 250,000 college-educated women in more than 1,000 chapters around the globe,
it is essential that we take proactive steps to focus the message of service and commitment being sent
out into the community. To that end, all chapters are asked to design and produce an information
brochure for their chapters use. The brochure should be used when meeting with local elected officials,
community leaders or other service organizations.
This is an excellent opportunity for chapter members to utilize their skils and creativity! While each
chapter has the flexibility to develop a brochure that best represents their chapter, there are some basic
guidelines to follow:
At a minimum, your chaptets brochure should include the following:
· The Sorority Full Name (Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.)
. Mission of the Sorority
