Contra Costa Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was founded on January 13, 1913 by twenty-two collegiate women at Howard University. These students wanted to use their collective strength to promote academic excellence and to provide assistance to persons in need. The first public act performed by the Delta Founders involved their participation in the Women’s Suffrage March in Washington D.C., March 1913. Delta Sigma Theta was incorporated in 1930.

Contra Costa Alumnae Chapter was chartered at the Fifth Annual California Social Action Conference (Delta Days) held at the State Capitol in Sacramento, California in 1990.  The women of CCAC are here to address the needs and challenges within our local school districts and community with high visibility and serve as role models for other African American females impacted by the community’s racial issues.
