5 Point Thrust - History

Since its founding, Delta Sigma Theta has clearly established itself as a public service organization that strives to confront the problems of African Americans and, hence, all Americans. As fulfillment of our heritage or service Delta Sigma Theta has instantiated a protocol for their programming, the 5 Point Thrust. The 5 Point Thrust is a powerful initiative that helps Americans and impacts the world.

The major programs of the Sorority are based upon the organization's Five-Point Program Thrust. Program development and implementation in Delta is a cooperative effort that is directed to the students and community of the University of Cincinnati. The Five-Point Thrust include:

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