International Awareness & Involvement

International Awareness and Involvement reflects Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.’s commitment to global citizenship, humanitarian service, and cultural understanding. This thrust encourages members to engage in efforts that address international challenges while promoting education, health, and economic stability across borders.

At the national level, Delta Sigma Theta supports initiatives that raise awareness of global issues, foster international partnerships, and provide direct service to underserved populations worldwide. Through these efforts, the Sorority works to extend its impact beyond local communities and contribute to meaningful global change.

The Smithfield Alumnae Chapter advances International Awareness and Involvement through hands-on service projects and charitable efforts that support education, health, and humanitarian needs in communities beyond the United States.
