Central Region
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is divided into seven (7) geographic subdivisions identified as regions: Central, Eastern, Farwest, Midwest, South Atlantic, Southern, and Southwest. Each chapter within the organization is assigned to a region based on its geographic location.
The Central Region was established in 1932. The first Central Region Conference being held on May 14, 1932, with First Vice President Naomi Cherot presiding.
During the first years of Delta's existence, tremendous growth and the establishment of chapters throughout the nation provided the Sorority with a geographically and culturally diverse membership. As our ranks grew, travel restrictions sometimes precluded participation in National Convention activities by the most geographically dispersed sorors. This challenge was viewed as an opportunity for the establishment of "regional conferences" with each region hosting a biennial meeting in the year Grand Chapter does not assemble. Regional Conferences offer members the opportunity to further Delta's mission, ideals, and principles through internal development, strengthen their bond of sisterhood, and plan for meaningful, relevant public service.
