The Design Heritage
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated was founded on January 13, 1913, at Howard University by 22 visionary collegiate women seeking to promote academic excellence and civic responsibility. Built upon a legacy of public service and social action—starting with their historic participation in the 1913 Woman Suffrage Procession—the organization has expanded globally while maintaining deep pride in its crimson and cream visual heritage. The classic cable-knit sweater pattern draws directly from traditional mid-century HBCU campus apparel, offering an enduring silhouette that honors over a century of sisterhood and leadership.
Wearing Greek letters carries historical weight and personal pride, serving as a visible symbol of dedication to community service and lifelong bonds. This quarter-zip piece provides warmth during chilly autumn tailgate games, chapter meetings, national conventions, and casual campus walks. The deep crimson shade paired with crisp white accents creates a distinct look that stands out at alumni gatherings while offering practical daily comfort.
Care and Maintenance
To preserve the structure of the heavy 420 GSM cotton knit and prevent stretching, turn the sweater inside out before washing. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water and mild detergent without bleach. Avoid hanging the garment while wet; instead, reshape the sweater and lay it flat on a clean drying rack to retain its natural shape and keep the cable-knit pattern taut.
This garment is tailored in a classic varsity cut, allowing comfortable layering over collared shirts or tees. For a fitted look, select your standard size; for a relaxed fit suitable for wearing over thicker layers, choose one size up. Ribbed cuffs and a reinforced waist rib keep heat locked in while ensuring the sweater sits cleanly at the hip line without riding up during movement.

How do I wash the sweater without shrinking the cotton knit?
