[edit] not verifiably the largest womens organization in the world
There is no way to prove that DST is the largest organization for women in the world. It may be the AA sorority with the most chapters, but not the largest org in the whole world.
[edit] Copyvio/NPOV issues? Peacock words?
The latter section of the article appears possibly to be pasted in from some DST literature.
- the threat to Social Security as we know it
- an urgent sense that bold action was needed to save our young females
- A natural outgrowth and expansion for the continuation of the highly successful ...
This is not encyclopedic style and is potentially a copyright violation. We need someone with the patience to disentangle factual information about DST programs from the organization's own PR. These programs can be described in more neutral terms, in some cases simply by changing first-person references ("our young females") to neutral ones ("young females" or better yet, "young women and girls"), but in other cases by excision of peacock terms. (In the interest of being positive: Check out Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles.) Lawikitejana 15:09, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Cream" as in "cream-colored" or as a synonym for white?
The current link in "crimson and cream" goes to the article on white (color). However, there is now an article for cream (color). I didn't want to change the link without knowing whether the organization really uses the cream color or simply uses the term cream to refer to white because it is alliterative.

[edit] Remove "Soror" in Founder Descriptions
Please remove "soror" in founder descriptions. Not every woman on Wikipedia is not a Soror in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. Also, please cite information (i.e. In Search of Sisterhood). Thanks! Bearly541 06:20, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
