When thirteen women arrived in the South Atlantic Region to The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, there were not any African American sororities on the campus. With the help of notable members of Charlotte Alumnae Chapter, the Charter Members, began a powerful movement on the campus of UNC-Charlotte. December 2, 1972, the Iota Rho Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated was formed.

Throughout the years, the Iota Rho Chapter has received many esteemed recognitions ranging from Chapter of the Year to Excellence in Alumni Relations. The exceptional ladies of the Iota Rho Chapter show our leadership skills assiduously, demonstrate dedication to our community, and always strive for success, while exemplifying the epitome of sisterhood.
