On June 20, 1992, six members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.—Carol Bradley, Darlene Faltz, Robbin Flannagan, Linda Jones Kemp, Arlene Donnelly, and Sue Briggs—met to discuss the formation of a sorority chapter after seeing a need in the southwestern part of Fairfax County, Virginia. As interest rapidly grew, the number increased to 36 members, the number needed to charter a chapter.
