Delta Sigma is a sorority that stands for women empowerment, diversity, inclusivity, courage, love, and wisdom. It is furthermore an organization that embraces change. The compassion and drive of Delta Sigma extends far beyond our home at 2311 Prospect Street. Delta Sigmas are leaders on campus and in the UC Berkeley Greek community.

A Letter From Our President
Welcome to Delta Sigma at UC Berkeley!
On behalf of our chapter, I am so happy to welcome you to our official website. To all of our alumnae and current members, I hope this website makes you feel at home. To all of you considering going through recruitment, I hope that exploring this platform shows you the incredibly talented, ambitious, and accomplished women who make up our beautiful home on Prospect Street.
While Delta Sigma was founded in 2017, we have over 100 years of rich history on the Berkeley campus. This chapter transitioned from being the Sigma chapter of Alpha Omicron Pi to creating our own sorority, Delta Sigma. When deciding on our new letters, we wanted them to embody the legacy of the alumnae who came before us. To express our gratitude to all the strong women who built our foundation we retained the “Sigma” that distinguished our chapter. We paired the Sigma with the letter “Delta,” the symbol of change, and created a name for our new chapter that united our past with our future as a new sorority, Delta Sigma. To me, one of the most powerful things about Delta Sigma is the intentionality behind our chapter symbols, from our flower (the Stargazer Lily) to our stone (amethyst) every symbol was chosen by our previous sisters to inspire this next generation of female leaders at Berkeley.
On a personal note, I am lucky enough to be a legacy of Delta Sigma, my mom was a sister of AOPi in the time before we transitioned to DS, and I grew up hearing about her time in the house and the friendships she made. Many of my mom’s sisters and alumnae of our house were significant figures in my childhood and I can’t believe that I get to live in the same house that my mom did during her time at Berkeley. I have been able to witness the lifelong friendships that this sorority has been able to foster and have now gotten to experience it for myself.
I joined as a first-semester freshman and my sisters have been with me every step of the way. From fangirling over books to movie nights in the TV room, I have truly found my community here. These are the girls I want to share my wins with but who are also there to give me a shoulder to cry on, and I couldn't have asked for a more supportive community than my Delta Sigma sisters. My connection to this chapter will extend long past these four years here at Cal, and my hope for everyone going through recruitment is that you’re able to find your second family in Greek life because I know I have.
At DS, each one of us brings something exceptional to our sisterhood. The women of Delta Sigma work within the ASUC, write for the Daily Cal, are involved in research and club sports, and so much more. Whether it’s work, school, internships, sports, clubs, or day-to-day tasks, I am in constant awe of how our sisters balance it all, while still managing to have fun with everything Cal Delta Sigma has to offer.
At the end of the day, Delta Sigma is all about women supporting women as they strive to achieve all their wildest dreams, and I couldn’t be prouder to be part of this chapter. My hope is that this website can give you a glimpse of our sisterhood and you can see why this chapter means so much to us.
With love,
Sabrina Woo
Delta Sigma Chapter President 2025
