Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., at its inception, was established to provide aid and assistance to the economically disadvantaged communities and work to remove and/or neutralize racial and economic disparities.

The birth of Central Arkansas Alumnae Chapter was conceived through the vision, dedication and “Good Ole Delta Spirit” of four torch bearers: Jocelyn Crump Williams, Jennifer R. Smith, Jacqueline Williams Lindsey, and Dorisene Wallace Hill. With the rich history of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. etched in their heads these ladies stepped out on faith and on November 9, 1996, CAAC was officially chartered.
