Since its founding in 1913 Delta Sigma Theta has clearly distinguished itself as a public service organization that boldly confronts the challenges of African Americans and, hence, all Americans. Over the years, a wide range of programs addressing education, health, international development, and strengthening of the African American family have evolved. In realizing its mission, Delta Sigma Theta provides an extensive array of public service initiatives through its Five-Point Program Thrust of Economic Development, Educational Development, International Awareness and Involvement, Physical and Mental Health, and Political Awareness and Involvement.

Program planning and development in the Las Vegas Alumnae Chapter is implemented through the 5 Point Program Coordinating Council This Committee serves as an umbrella steering committee for the purpose of long-range planning and continuity of program initiatives for social action in the community. The Five Point Program Thrust of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is the vehicle through which we seek to project the image of the Sorority as a public service organization.
