The National Pan-Hellenic Council was formed as a permanent organization on May 10, 1930, at Howard University in Washington, D.C. It is a collaborative umbrella council of nine historically Black Greek-letter organizations — commonly called the Divine Nine. Its founding purpose was “unanimity of thought and action” among its member organizations and the pursuit of shared goals in scholarship, service, and community uplift. Founded during an era of segregation and limited campus resources, the NPHC and its member organizations became powerful sources of academic support, leadership development, cultural pride, and community service — a legacy that continues today.

Delta Sigma Theta jewelry isn't just an accessory — every color and symbol carries meaning. The sorority's crimson and cream colors, its African violet flower, and its signature symbols (the pyramid, Lady Fortitude, and the Delta torch) each tell part of a story that began in 1913. This guide breaks down what those symbols mean and how to choose or gift a piece that honors the legacy with pride. As an officially licensed Delta Sigma Theta vendor, Trendzio Jewelry crafts every piece to honor the sorority's standards. A brief history of Delta Sigma Theta Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. was founded on January 13, 1913, by 22 collegiate women at Howard University in Washington, D.C. It is one of the nine historically Black Greek-letter organizations that make up the Divine Nine (the National Pan-Hellenic Council), and it was built on a commitment to public service and scholarship. Just two months after founding, its members marched in the 1913 Women's Suffrage Procession — a spirit of activism the sorority still carries today. That history is exactly why DST jewelry means so much to members. A necklace or ring isn't only decorative; it's a way to carry more than a century of sisterhood, service, and fortitude.

Many members choose African-violet-inspired earrings or pendants for professional settings.

Lady Fortitude Lady Fortitude is the sorority's central figure, embodying courage and moral strength in the face of adversity. Jewelry that references Fortitude speaks to resilience — a meaningful choice for milestones like graduation or a new chapter in life. The Delta torch The Delta torch symbolizes leadership, enlightenment, and the passing of wisdom from one generation of members to the next. Torch motifs are common on lapel pins and commemorative pieces. The Greek letters Delta Sigma Theta and the badge The official badge carries the Greek letters Delta Sigma Theta (ΔΣΘ) in a row, with nine jewels set into the central letter, honoring the nine women who first proposed the sorority.
