International Day of Service – Since 2002, all 900-plus chapters of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated have participated in the International Day of Service, held annually in March.  The purpose of the International Day of Service is to address the plight of HIV/AIDS pandemic in African American communities.  Members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. realize that adults and youth must be educated to prevent this epidemic.
