Chapter History
In December 1941, nine members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., met in Greensboro in the home of the late Dr. and Mrs. Warmoth T. Gibbs to request from the national body the establishment of a graduate chapter.  The graduate sorors continued to meet through the Spring of 1942, until their dream of a chapter in this city was realized.  

The chapter was charterd as BETA MU SIGMA on May 24, 1942, with Maria Palmer Capps, Regonal Director, officiating.  The ceremony was held in the home of the late Dr. and Mrs. Warmoth T. Gibbs.  Their daughter, Elizabeth Gibbs, one of the charter members, became the chapter's first president.  Other charter members were:  Lenore Barry, Selma Boone, Mae Sue Roberts, Estelle Smith, Regina Smith, Ellen Torrence, and Georgia Willis.

BETA MU SIGMA was originally a part of the Eastern Region, but in 1960, due to reorganization mandated by our national organization, BETA MU SIGMA became a part of the newly created region, the South Atlantic Region.

In 1963, Grand Chapter authorized the change of graduate Delta Chapters to geographic names.  BETA MU SIGMA then became GREENSBORO ALUMNAE CHAPTER of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.  For more than half a century now, Greensboro Alumnae sorors have involved themselves in projects reflecting the national programmatic thrusts and in local service projects that have been extremely meaningful to the Greater Greensboro area.

Although the chapter began with only eight charter members, today it boasts of more than 200 active members.  As the chapter grew in numbers, its efforts in community service increased, and its members made stronger commitments to the sorority's purpose, as envisioned by its founders and charter members.

In the early years, the chapter sponsored Girl Scout Troops and Job Opportunities Clinics, which provide information to high school students increasing their knowledge of the broad spectrum of career choices available to them.
