Chapter Beginnings
Initially called Illinois Alpha, Delta Chapter was established at Illinois Wesleyan in 1875. Enrollment dropped at the college and — in 1895 — the chapter closed, and the charter was transferred to a new group established at the University of Illinois. Delta became the first women's fraternity on the Illinois campus.
Notable Thetas
From the very beginning, Theta alumnae have distinguished themselves in their careers and their volunteer endeavors. In fact, some are so well-known that they’re household names, and many have the distinction of being the first women in their professional fields. The archives takes this opportunity to recognize some of our more notable sisters.
