You're confusing incorporation and copyright. Incorporation gives an organization legal power to conduct business throughout the United States and worlwide. It's the same concept as a companies being incorporated. Copyright gives us exclusive use of our letters, in their proper order, and other symbols that the respective Grand Chapters choose to use officially in reference to the sorority.
The Alpha chapter of DST was incorporated on Feb. 18, 1913, which was just over a month after her founding on Jan. 13, 1913 (ooo-oop!), but the Sorority as a whole was not incorporated until Jan. 20, 1930.
