When twenty-two undergraduate women founded Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. at Howard University on January 13, 1913, they established a sisterhood dedicated to scholarship, public service, and the enduring contrast of Crimson and Cream. The Polo Ralph Lauren Delta Sigma Theta Crewneck Sweater brings that century-old legacy to a rich crimson-red long-sleeve pullover built for January Founders' Day programs, alumnae chapter meetings, and crisp autumn homecomings.
Twin crisp white stripes circle the ribbed crimson crewneck collar, matching the white polo player silhouette positioned on the upper left chest and setting a clean visual frame for the centerpiece artwork.
1913 Varsity Numerals, White-Piped ΔΣΘ Blazer & Pleated Skirt Regalia
Flanked by oversized white varsity block numerals outlined in crimson-19 on the left and 13 on the right-the center teddy bear mascot is styled from head to toe in coordinated sorority attire:

- Tilted Crimson Beret & Tailored ΔΣΘ Blazer: The bear wears a tilted crimson-red beret paired with a gold-buttoned crimson blazer edged in crisp white piping and marked with white ΔΣΘ Greek letters on the left chest over a white collared shirt.
- Cream Pleated Skirt & Striped Knee Socks: Below the blazer, a cream-white pleated skirt trimmed with a crimson hem stripe meets crossed legs dressed in crimson-and-white striped socks and glossy crimson lace-up wingtip brogues.
- Stacked Greek & Serif Lower-Chest Typography: Beneath the crossed shoes, bold crimson-outlined white ΔΣΘ letters sit above DELTA SIGMA THETA, POLO BEAR by RALPH LAUREN, and white cursive Ralph Lauren script.
Smooth 95/5 Poly-Spandex Knit for Founders' Day & Campus Wear
Constructed from a 95% polyester, 5% spandex blend, this standard unisex crewneck pullover uses all-over dye-sublimation printing to bond the crimson, cream, and white pigments directly into the fabric fibers. Because the artwork is infused into the knit rather than stitched with stiff embroidery backing, the chest drapes smoothly over collared blouses, pearls, or winter layers without cracking or peeling.

Flexible ribbed knitting at the cuffs, waistband, and striped collar retains its shape across seasons. To preserve the deep crimson ground and crisp white numerals, machine wash cold with similar colors, tumble dry on low heat or hang dry, and do not iron directly on the printed design.
