The Dynamic Women 
Who Made up the 
Circle of 22 on that 
Beautiful Thirteenth day in 
January of 1913 are the 
FOUNDERS of 
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, 
Incorporated.

"When I Look at You, 
I see Myself.
If my eyes are unable to see you as 
MY SISTER,
it is because my own vision is blurred.
And if that be so then it is I
who need you either because I 
do not understand who you are, 
my SISTER, 
or because I need you to help me 
understand who I am.
-Lillian P. Benbow,
National President, 
Delta Sigma Theta,
1971-1975
