SOCIAL ACTION

In March of 1913, nearly six weeks after its founding, several Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Founders marched in the historic Suffragist March under the

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. banner, the Sorority's first public act. Today, low voter turnout statistics highlight the need to continue identifying ways to

include opportunities for all citizens to exercise their voting power. Each of Delta’s programmatic initiatives has an advocacy component that is

Implemented under the auspices of social action when it is appropriate or necessary to do so. Under the auspices of the National Social Action Commission, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. continues to institute activities that foster:

1. Sponsoring Voter Registration and voter education programs

5. Financial Literacy and Economic Empowerment
