“Happy Founders Day to Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. I love my DST Today, we honor 112 years of legacy, service, and sisterhood that have shaped us into the unstoppable women we are. Being a part of this dynamic sisterhood has been life-changing, and I’m so grateful for the love, inspiration, and strength we pour into each other.

“Here’s to our founders, who paved the way, and to all of us, who continue to uplift, serve, and slay in every space we enter. Cheers to 112 years and many more to come!”

As per the sorority’s website, it was founded on January 13, 1913, by 22 young women at Howard University. Their aim was to create sisterhood, scholarship, service, and social action, and, in fact, their first act of public service was their involvement in the Suffrage March in 1913. In 1941, it became the very first sorority to arrange employment counseling and career development for young black women.

Posing with her husband, Loreal carried off an iconic look, pairing up her leather jacket and leather skirt with knee-high leather boots. She had kept her hair simple, keeping it open as her gorgeous curls complemented her Game Day look.

Sadly, Texas’ performance on the gridiron did not do justice. They got crushed by the Buckeyes when quarterback Quinn Ewers got strip-sacked by defensive end Jack Sawyer with two minutes left.

So what if the Longhorns could not bring home a victory? Loreal Sarkisian did not go into hibernation mode. Instead, she acknowledged the efforts that the program has put in so far. The fashion diva wrote, “Thank you EVERYONE for all the love and support for @steve.sarkisian and the team this season. You all are awesome, mean it” followed by “Hook ‘Em Horns” and orange heart emojis.
