The twenty-two founders of this illustrious organization breathed life into a flame that would burn forever. This light was a luminous vision, encompassing the ideals of sisterhood, high scholastic standards and public service. These twenty-two, precocious, college women began by focusing upon issues such as women's sufferage and equal rights for blacks. And, after the organization was incorporated in 1930, it began to branch out from these five points. Over the years, the members of Delta have invested their time in fighting for civil rights for all individuals, helping to give direction to the youth, finding solutions to end economic strife, and reevaluating and implementing family values.
