Although I am not a Delta, I do know that there were TWO organizations called Delta Sigma Theta.
One was a professional pharmacy society founded in 1915 at the College of Brooklyn?
Now I heard that the Delta sorority sued the pharmacy society for illegal usage of the name, but I do not know, but am curious of what the outcome was.
The other was a midwestern Christian fraternity founded 1925 by a merger between Phi Tau Theta Fraternity and Sigma Epsilon Theta Fraternity. The merger became official in 1941 and the name became Delta Sigma Theta until 1949 when the Delta sorority threatened lawsuit for illegal usage of their name (see pg 105 or 125 of "In Search of Sisterhood" for proof). Hence the name was changed to Sigma Theta Epsilon in 1949-present.
