Our history
Our History & Expansion in Southern Africa
Since 1998, members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. have sought to establish a chapter in Southern Africa, driven by a lifetime commitment to the mission and principles of our sisterhood on the African continent. By furthering the vision of our beloved Founders and Past Presidents, we recognized a unique opportunity to leverage our collective efforts to positively impact lives across the region.
A Dream Realized
On April 11, 2021, our dream became a reality. We are honored to officially bring the vision of our Founders back to the African continent through the chartering of the Southern Africa Alumnae Chapter (SAAC).
