In 1965 Rosalie Bouyer planted a seed that would grow and flourish within the Bronx Community. Recognizing the need for public service in the Northeast Bronx Community, Rosalie Bouyer began discussions with Rosellen Rembert to organize Deltas in the Bronx to provide services the community was lacking. For two years, Bouyer and Rembert along with 14 other Deltas met and started the Triangle Club. Some notable projects of the Triangle Club were a book drive, Christmas donations given to the Soundview Houses Children’s Center (1966), and donations to the Forest Houses Children’s Center (1967). The club also collected used clothing and donated them to the Salvation Army & Goodwill, Inc.
On February 18, 1968, sixteen (16) women chartered the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Bronx Alumnae Chapter. Having grown from a membership of 16 to 140+ members, the Bronx chapter remains committed to Sisterhood, Scholarship, Service, and Social Action.
