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.
Twelve visionary
women chartered the Nu Omicron Chapter of Delta
Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. on April 9, 1977 on
the campus of the University of Montevallo. It
was the first African-American organization to
be established on campus.
The ladies of
this chapter pride themselves on their sincere
commitment and devotion to the national
objectives of the Sorority. Through innovative
programs, continuous community service, and
scholastic achievements the Nu Omicron Chapter
has continued the legacy of upholding the
stature and prestige of their Founders and
Charter Members. On campus and in the
surrounding community, the past and present
members have shown their dedication to service,
scholarship, and sisterhood.
