Chapter History

In the Spring of 2012, eleven ambitious womxn gathered to discuss the possibility of establishing a new organization on campus. They wanted to establish a sxsterhood that would last a lifetime, thus they were determined to bring Kappa Delta Chi Sorority, Inc. to UTD.
During the Fall of 2012, they established the official interest group of KDChi with the name of Women of Integrity, Service, and Honesty” (W.I.S.H). In November of 2012, they presented to the Multicultural Greek Council and were admitted into the council.
In the Spring of 2013, the eleven interested ladies of Kappa Delta Chi were able to finally start their New Member Process to establish the prestigious sorority. All their effort paid off in April 26, 2013 when they became the “First Emeralds” Charter Class and officially became sxsters.
After continuous effort and determination, the Colony of Kappa Delta Chi Sorority, Inc. at the University of Texas at Dallas was granted Chapter Status on June 20th of 2014, officially recognized as the Beta Zeta Chapter of Kappa Delta Chi.
