For me personally, although my mother is a member of Delta Sigma Theta, I took it upon myself to ask her advice on what she thought I should do. She told me to reasearch all of the sororities and then decided for myself. That's what I did.
One of the things that caught my attention was the major programs of the Five Point Thrust. Delta Sigma Theta reaches out to make sure that people are aware of the political issues around us especially supporting Census 2000. Along with that the chapter on my campus are promoting Health awareness by posting up facts on diseases and also the political aspect by having voter registration drives. Delta Sigma Theta notonly community service they show by example and encourage others to take part also. Other organizations do this as well, but Delta community service programs, are programs that reach out and touch people in every shape form and fashion. Delta has continually throughout history been dedicated to their program and passes the ball own down through every person that becomes a member. It took sometime for me to arrive at the real reason why I wanted to pursue membership in Delta Sigma Theta, and after sitting back and taking all of the other aspects out of it ( such as parties, colors, how many members are on campus, what my friends want to be.), I read the book and researched and found that Delta was the only sorority I wanted to be a part of. I hope this answered your question the 411.
