‘There is No Place Like Home’

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was founded in 1913 at Howard University by 22 industrious college women who demonstrated a vital concern for social welfare, academic excellence, and cultural enrichment in order to de-emphasize the social side of sorority life. In November of 1970, four women saw the need for an organization of college women on SJSU's campus that emphasized social welfare, academic excellence, and cultural enrichment in a time when social change in the Silicon valley was at an all time high. Inspired by the sorority's 22 innovative founders, these four women set out to charter a chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. on SJSU's campus. This initial recognition led to the birth of the Eta Omega Chapter of our illustrious organization. As a chapter, we have strived to maintain the legacy of service that our founders envisioned. The chapter's service areas mainly include San Jose and Santa Clara. The Chapter's Public Service and Social Action Committee has organized several programs which mainly focus on the organization Five Point Thrust. Since its chartering, Eta Omega has crossed 25 lines into our sisterhood. Although small, Eta Omega continues to persevere with Delta Sigma Theta's tradition of excellence as our inspiration.
