Chapter History

This was the second chapter established and was known as Delta Deuteron until the first national convention, when the system of naming was changed. Delta Deuteron then became Delta. Miss Budd was, at the time, a member of the Simpson faculty. The chapter celebrated its 129th birthday in 2018.
