A. Hi there, In some cases there can be three different requirements in joining a greek organization. First are the National Requirements, then School Requirements, and last but not least, chapter requirements. For example at some HBCU's you have to have a 3.0 to join an organization even though the national requirement may be 2.5. With that being said, the BEST way to find this information is going to our national website at www.deltasigmatheta.org for the national requirements. I would then contact your student activities office/greek affairs office to see if the school has it's own requirements. (many do not, but some do) And lastly, I the BEST way to find out if the chapter has it's own requirements, the best way to find out what they… [cont.]

How can I join a chapter of Delta Sigma Theta after they come back from a suspension?
Q. I want to join Delta Sigma Theta but the chapter on my campus is suspended until October of 2009 which is also my senior year. Is it possible that I will be able to pledge the same semester that the suspension ends? If so is there something I should do to make sure that it happens? I mean since most of the Deltas will have graduated will I need/be able to take steps to re-establish the chapter?

A. To be honest with you, it's possible, but not likely. I say this b/c just because the suspension is up, doesn't mean that they will be having intake the following semester. There is a lot of behind the scene work that has to take place BEFORE they can even consider have MIP. Plus sorors will have to go through extensive training, and have to get permission from the regional director and national headquarters before even holding a RUSH and/or informational. At this point, I would focus on graduating from your school, and in the meantime figure out where the nearest grad chapter where you will be residing after you graduate.

A. Hi there, If you are interested in joining an alum chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc, please understand that my sorors will be requesting a college transcript, and you would need at least a 2.5 gpa. Since your gpa is only a 2.1, I would suggest that you apply for membership AFTER you graduate with your Masters Degree. In the meantime, I would suggest that you continue with your community service, be mindful of your grades in grad school, and attend as many of my sorors events that you can. This is so my sorors will have a chance of getting to know you, and it gives you an opportunity to get to know them. Good luck to you in grad school, and your quest in joining the best sorority in the world!

Now i'm about to graduate and I know that you can go grad-chapter but I was told that by doing that no one will respect you. Is that true?

I'm not going to sit here and sell MY sorority because, in my opinion, Delta speaks for itself; it's your decision to figure out what's best for you. But think about what my Soror said;… [cont.]

I want to join Delta Sigma Theta, but the college that I go to doesn't have it as as option for a sorority?
Q. I wanted to know if there was any other way possible that i could still join outside of my school.

A. The only options you have at this point are: Checking to see if there is a city-wide chapter that includes your school. Transferring to another school that has an active chapter (I would NOT recommend this option as you are in school to earn a degree not to join an organization) Wait until after you graduate and join an alumnae chapter. Good luck to you!

A. The best way to find out how to join my organization is to visit our national website at If you go to this site you will find everything you need regarding GPA requirements, when you are eligible for intake, etc..I would also advice reading "In Search of Sisterhood" by Paula Giddings. To answer your question, No you do not have to be a stepper, and we pride ourselves in serving the community. So although there is no "set amount" of community service that you need to preform, we weed out people who only perform service just to get into the organization. We are looking for solid and continuous service in future members who enjoy serving the community. Good luck to you!

I want to join Delta Sigma Theta.?
Q. I really want to join Delta Sigma Theta but my GPA is an 2.6. I know that the minimum requirements to pledge is an 2.75. I am very active in my community and on campus. I was wondering if that would make up for it, because I would really love to join. If anyone might know who is a part of the organization that could help me. That would be wonderful.
Asked by JANE DOE - Wed Sep 2 10:54:38 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. If the local chapter can't answer your question, contact national. Maybe why your GPA is 2.6 is you are spending too much time on community and campus activities. If you were to continue with your present levels of activity and join a sorority, your GPA would drop lower. While it is commendable that you are active in outside activities, your first priority is to get the best grades you can and graduate. Good luck! Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

Can you join Delta Sigma Theta without community service?
Q. I have recently become very interested in joining the Delta Sigma Theta chapter on campus, but I'm nervous that I may not be chosen because I don't have any community service. During high school, I focused on athletics and academics, so I could never do the community service like I'd wanted. Plus, I never though I'd be interested in joining a sorority so I wasn't in any hurry to find community service events. Regardless, I still feel like Delta Sigma Theta is where I need to be for all the right reasons. Is there a chance I'll make it? Thank you, but I'm already enrolled at a University.

Candidates must be female (this is a gender specific program). 2. All applicants must be in 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th 10th, 11th, or 12th grade for the 2009-2010 school year. 3. Applicants must be exemplary of wholesome character and of the desire to work with others in sisterly love. 4. All applicants must provide a copy of their most recent report card. 5. New applicants must complete a 100 word essay on the attached topic.

Can I join Delta Sigma Theta Incorporated after graduating from college?
Q. I've wanted to join Delta Sigma Theta Incorporated since I started my undergrad but there wasn't a chapter at my school until senior year. Senior year, I came from New Jersey trying to go to Rush in Connecticut but I was late so I was not able to continue. I am graduating this May and I start the Doctorate Program of Physical therapy in June. However, I still want to join DST. I would like to know who can I call or e-mail to be apart of the mailing-list so I can be apart of community service and other activites. Also, how can I join DST as a grad student?

A. Hi there, First off I want to say congratulations for graduating this may, and I wish you all the best as you start in your PhD program. Now to answer you question, the best way you can join Delta is finding out the nearest grad chapter in the area that you reside. Once you've done that, go to our national website at and check and see if they have their website listed. Another way of accomplishing this goal is simply googling the chapter to see if their website pops up. Most grad chapter has their events, Rush info, community service projects, etc listed. Also you can find out if they have a mailing list that you can join. (I personally know a few grad chapters that offer the mailing list option). Good luck to you, and please let me… [cont.]

Joining The Delta Sigma Theta Sorority... West Region?
Q. I was wondering about California and their policy about joining a sorority. the reason I am focusing on the west region is because I am WELL aware of how different California is (whether people want to admit it or not). For those who know... 1. I was wondering why doesn't the DST have a rush at the schools (no, they do not) so how could one join the DST? 2. Also; I was wondering why DST's ask for the student ID if they are not checking your grades? 3. And... I am a senior now.. is the best bet to get in touch with the grad chapter in my area and try to join them? I have only been at my school for a year (graduating early :) ) and I don't believe its a good idea to stay and extra year just to try and pledge DST.

A. Hello, I am not sure of how California is different then other states but I will answer to the best of my ability. As far as RUSH, they could have had a RUSH but you were not aware of it, either b/c signs were taken down or placed in places you do not frequent. Also, unless another line has gone through while you were at school, there is no need for RUSH. We do not have to have MIP (Membership Intake Process) every year or every other year for that matter so RUSH is only held when MIP will be performed. As far as your ID and grades, no we do not CHECK your grades however, the ID is needed to make sure you are a student at the school. You also are required to submit a transcript which also confirms that you attend the school, the number of… [cont.]
