History

In the spring of 1961, the need for a sixth sorority on Hope's campus became evident when there were more women desiring sorority membership than there were openings permitted. Questionnaires asking whether there was an interest in starting a new sorority were sent to all Hope women. On May 11, 1962, 30 women dressed in formals gathered in Gilmore Cottage. There the Panhellenic Board initiated these founders, and the Kappa Delta Chi Sorority was officially chartered.
