WASHINGTON DC: MARCH 03 The symbol of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc is displayed for the camera in Washington, D.C. on March 03, 2013.

Thousands of the Sorority's members accompanied by other invited organizations, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the role the 22 Founders of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority played in the 1913 Women's Suffrage March.
