In March of 1913, the Founders performed their first public act by participating in the Women’s Suffrage March in Washington, D.C.
For over a century, they’ve provided support with key programs under the sorority’s Five-Point Programmatic Thrust: Economic Development, Educational Development, International Awareness, Physical/Mental Health, and Political Awareness.
Since its founding, more than 300,000 women have joined the sisterhood of predominantly Black, college educated women.
Today, the globally revered sorority has 1,000 collegiate and alumnae chapters located in the United States, Canada, Japan (Tokyo and Okinawa), Germany, the Virgin Islands, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Jamaica, and the Republic of Korea.
