Delta has a rich history of involvement in the international arena. The building and maintenance of a maternity wing at the Thika Memorial Hospital in Kenya, West Africa, to Delta’s identification of 1987 at the “Delta International Year” underscore Delta’s commitment to understanding the world. The “African Diaspora,” a Delta Cultural Awareness/Study Program, focused on the dispersion of the peoples and cultures of Africa through the continents of North and South America, Europe, Asia, and the island countries in the eastern and western hemispheres.

The International Awareness and Involvement (IAI) Committee of Los Angeles Alumnae Chapter develops and implements local and global initiatives. IAI strives to promote active participation and support of issues affecting women and children around the world. IAI’s goal is to raise both the level of awareness and involvement of the needs of the global community.  IAI also spearheads the Chapter's international affairs and educates the community at large on the current and ongoing issues happening locally and abroad.
