Crimson and Cream Varsity Bear Artwork for 1913 Sorority Pride
Paying tribute to the twenty-two collegiate women who founded Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated at Howard University on January 13, 1913, the Ralph Lauren Delta Sigma Theta Bear Sweater brings spirited campus sideline style to winter chapter gatherings. Centered on a deep crimson-red torso is a curly-furred teddy bear mascot wearing a crimson-red hair bow on her left ear and a crimson-and-cream varsity letterman jacket detailed with cream-white sleeves, white snap buttons, striped ribbed trim, and white ΔΣΘ Greek letters over a white collared shirt. A crimson-red pleated cheerleader skirt with two cream-white horizontal hem stripes, white crew socks, and crimson-and-white lace-up low-top sneakers complete her relaxed, hands-in-pockets stance.

Framing the mascot on either side, oversized crimson-red varsity block numerals 19 and 13 outlined in crisp cream-white mark the sorority’s founding year, while a cream-white Polo pony and rider silhouette sits on the upper left chest. Directly beneath the bear’s sneakers, bold crimson-red ΔΣΘ Greek letters outlined in cream-white stack above DELTA SIGMA THETA, POLO BEAR by RALPH LAUREN, and a cursive Ralph Lauren signature.
Sublimated Stretch-Knit Construction and Everyday Wearability
- Varsity Letterman & Cheer Details: Combines a crimson ear bow, snap-front crimson-and-cream letterman jacket, double-striped crimson pleated skirt, and red-and-white low-top sneakers.
- Fade-Proof Dye Sublimation: Uses all-over dye-sublimation print (fade-proof and peel-resistant) so the curly plush fur texture and cream-white outlines stay smooth without heavy plastic transfers.
- Striped Ribbed Trim: Finishes the crimson-red ribbed crew neckline with a single cream-white outer stripe band matched to solid crimson ribbed cuffs and hem.

Woven from a flexible 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex blend, this standard unisex crewneck pullover offers gentle stretch and breathable warmth suited for Autumn and Winter wear (adaptive body temperature response) during probate watch parties, December chapter socials, and January 13 Founders Day programs.
Available across sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, and 5XL, the pullover keeps its vibrant Crimson and Cream contrast when you machine wash cold with similar colors, tumble dry on low heat or hang dry, and do not iron directly on the print. Families shopping for fellow Howard University-founded Divine Nine organizations can also pair this sorority sweater with the Omega Psi Phi Bear Sweater for holiday gift sets.
