Delta Sigma Theta Ornate Decorative Drinking Glass

This Delta Sigma Theta Ornate Decorative Drinking Glass serves as a formal tribute to the founding of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. on January 13, 1913, at Howard University. Designed for members who value the history of the 22 collegiate founders, this piece incorporates the organization’s core principles and visual identity into a functional display item.

The Heritage and Legacy

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. emerged during a period of significant social change. Established by 22 women at Howard University, the organization made its first public act of service by participating in the Women’s Suffrage March in Washington, D.C., on March 3, 1913. This glass honors that historical trajectory, recognizing the transition from a campus organization to a global entity dedicated to public service, scholarship, and sisterhood. The inclusion of the torch and the Greek letters represents the commitment to illumination and academic excellence that has defined the sorority for over a century.

The design utilizes the official crimson and cream color palette, accented with gold to signify the prestige of the organization. The filigree patterns surrounding the Greek letters mirror the intricate nature of the sorority’s crest, while the ruby-toned embellishments provide a visual link to the official jewel of the sorority. The inscription “Intelligence is the Torch of Wisdom” serves as a reminder of the organization’s motto, grounding the aesthetic in the foundational values established in 1913.
