The members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority,
Inc. represent a unique segment of the nation's demographic
profile. Delta women are movers and shakers--they hold
political offices, own businesses and are influential
in a range of fields from medicine to law to education.
A recent survey of members that resulted in the establishment
of the Delta Sigma Theta Resource Bank, showed that
97 percent of all Deltas are registered to vote; they
are well-educated, earn competitive incomes and maintain
positions of influence and respect within the greater
community.
Alumnae Deltas comprise the largest portion (76%) of
the membership. The largest segments of alumnae Deltas
are almost equally divided among three of the seven
regions, Eastern (21.8%), Southern (21%), and South
Atlantic (20.5%).
Collegiate Deltas comprise 24% of the membership and
have the largest segments of their members in the Southern
(23.6%) and South Atlantic (22.7%) regions.
Seventy-two percent of alumnae Deltas are homeowners
and the majority (52%) are married.
Most Deltas are employed in education as teachers, school
administrators, counselors, professors, and higher education
administrators. Other occupations frequently reported
include management, social sciences, social work, medicine/health,
law, engineering, architecture, the performing arts,
information sciences, public administration (federal,
state, and local levels), the judiciary, journalism,
and religion.
