About Kappa Alpha Theta, Delta Epsilon Chapter
Founded on the courageous example of four pioneering women—Bettie Locke, Alice Allen, Hannah Fitch, and Bettie Tipton—Kappa Alpha Theta embodies a spirit of resilience and determination that continues to define the Delta Epsilon Chapter at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. These founders faced significant obstacles when they became among the first women admitted to Indiana Asbury College, yet their perseverance in establishing the first women's Greek-letter fraternity created a lasting legacy of sisterhood and mutual support.
Today, the Delta Epsilon Chapter honors this heritage by creating a welcoming community where women support one another through shared experiences, challenges, and triumphs. Members of Delta Epsilon are proud to follow in the footsteps of their founders, understanding that being part of something larger than oneself requires courage, commitment, and genuine connection. The chapter recognizes that each member brings unique talents, perspectives, and aspirations to the organization.
Kappa Alpha Theta's enduring mission reflects the values established by its founders: nurturing members throughout their lifetime and offering continuous opportunities for intellectual and personal growth. The Delta Epsilon Chapter in Tempe serves as a testament to the transformative power of sisterhood, where women learn, grow, and inspire one another across all seasons of life. This commitment extends beyond college years, creating bonds that last a lifetime.
By maintaining the traditions established over generations while adapting to contemporary needs, Delta Epsilon Chapter continues the work of its founders—creating spaces where women can thrive, lead, and make meaningful contributions to their communities. The chapter represents not just a college organization, but a lifelong sisterhood dedicated to helping each member become her best self.
