THE FARWEST REGION

Since inception, the Farwest Region has meaningfully contributed to the growth, leadership and vitality of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated beginning with the chartering of the first Farwest chapter at the University of California at Berkeley in 1921. Affectionately known as the Fabulous Farwest, the region is now comprised of nearly 90 chapters located in Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington; as well as international chapters in Japan (Okinawa and Tokyo) and the Republic of Korea (Seoul).

The Farwest Region is extremely proud to have had Founder Bertha Pitts Campbell as a member of our Region. She said, "May the heritage of long years of service to mankind be an inspiration for a more effective future. Hold to those gifts that have helped keep us moving through the decades of time...courage to lead...commitment to service...wisdom to hope." (Excerpt from greeting in Tacoma, WA 1988)
