Five-Point Programmatic Thrust

The Five-Point Programmatic Thrust was established in 1955. Since its inception, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. has clearly identified as a public service organization that strives to address issues in the Black community. In alignment with the mission of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., the Akron Alumnae Chapter serves an array of public service initiatives focused on the Five-Point Programmatic Thrust: Educational Development, Economic Development, International Awareness and Involvement, Physical and Mental Health and Political Awareness and Involvement.

Educational Development

National economic trends - such as unstable employment, the threat to social security as we know it, and the widening gap between wealth and poverty are the basis of the development of Financial Fortitude.

Economic Development

As an organization of college-educated women, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. plays a role in the educational movement, seeking to inspire, motivate, and support the aspirations and achievements of youth and young adults.

International Awareness and Involvement

Through the International Awareness and Involvement (IAI) programmatic thrust, Delta Sigma Theta harnesses its vast potential to strategically impact the plight of people living across the diaspora.

Physical and Mental Health

As an organization of predominantly African American women, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is uniquely positioned to impact not only the well-being of its members, but also the families and communities we serve.

Political Awareness and Involvement

In 1989, the National Social Action Commission instituted Delta Days at the Nation's Capital, an annual legislative conference to increase members' involvement in the national public policy-making process.
