More than ninety years ago on the campus of Howard University, 22 young Black collegiate women formed Delta Sigma Theta Sorority as a public service organization. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. was founded in 1913 at Howard University and serves as a non-profit national organization of predominantly Black college women committed to public service. The focus of Delta Sigma Theta is framed in the Five Point Program Thrust of the organization:

Economic Development
Educational Development
International Awareness and Involvement
Physical and Mental Health
Political Awareness and Involvement

Nationally and locally, the purpose of Delta Sigma Theta is to provide services and programs to support human welfare. Incorporated in 1930, Delta has more than 200,000 members across 900 chapters in over 46 states and countries.

Suffolk County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. was chartered on April 23, 1989. The charter members aimed to expand Delta programs throughout Suffolk County in order to create an awareness of Delta services in business, religious, educational, political, social and cultural institutions. In addition SCAC continues to tap the resources of available women who can bring positive, innovative and motivational ideas to public service initiatives of Delta Sigma Theta.

Mirroring the Five Point Program Thrust, the Suffolk County Alumnae Chapter is committed to providing public service to the communities of Suffolk County in hopes of assisting in the improved quality of life.
