In 1932 it became the Iota chapter of Lambda Omega, and in 1933 the Theta Alpha chapter of Theta Upsilon. Later in 1928 it became Gamma chapter of Alpha Sigma Delta. ^ It's interesting to note that this chapter, in the span of seven years, had four Greek letter names: It had been still a local chapter in 1928 called Beta Chi Theta (local).^ a b c d Formerly a Lambda Omega chapter.^ Began as Alpha Theta Pi (local) in 1915.^ Began as Theta Gamma (local) in 1921.^ Began as Psi Xi Omega (local) in 1919.^ Began as Alpha Omega (local) in 1930.^ Began as Delta Phi Gamma (local) in 1926.^ Began as Pi Tau Delta (local) in 1926.^ Began as Sigma Omicron (local) in 1926.Became the Phi Pi chapter of ΔΔΔ, active from 1959– 1971. ^ Lombard College ceased operations in 1930.^ Began as Omega Delta Pi (local) in 1922.^ Began as Alpha Alpha Alpha (local) in 1922.^ Baird's notes this group was later called Kappa Sigma Chi (local), which became Gamma Psi chapter of ΑΦ, active from 1959– 1970.^ Began as Kappa Psi Delta (local) in 1922.^ Began as Alpha Iota Pi (local) in 1922.^ Began as Sigma Phi Omega (local) in 1921.^ Interestingly, this chapter is a result of the eventual merger of the Alpha chapters of three sororities all formed at Berkeley, namely ΛΩ ( 1915), ΑΣΔ ( 1918), and ΘΥ ( 1914).Thirty years later it would become an Alpha Phi chapter.Ī chapter at Utah State University reverted to its local name, briefly, before becoming a Delta Delta Delta chapter. įairly early, a chapter at Ripon College reverted to its local name. These merged into existing Delta Zeta chapters on their respective campuses. ![]() In 1962 there were four "overlaps" in chapters at California, Miami, Illinois, and Temple universities. Chapters active at the time of the ΔΖ merger are those in bold, those which were inactive are noted in italics. Theta Upsilon had installed a total of 38 chapters by the time of the merger, counting its own and those it absorbed from Lambda Omega. Delta Zeta gained nine new collegiate chapters while several others were enhanced by mergers. The ceremony was held at the Alpha Alpha chapter house at Northwestern University. On May 6, 1962, Theta Upsilon fraternity was officially absorbed by Delta Zeta sorority. The chapter at Berkeley, therefore, was the product of three Alpha chapters of small national sororities, prior to itself merging into Delta Zeta's Mu chapter in 1962. In 1932, Lambda Omega was, in turn, absorbed by Theta Upsilon. In 1932, Lambda Omega had absorbed Alpha Sigma Delta, which began as the Iaqua club, also at Berkeley in 1919. Lambda Omega was an associate member of the National Panhellenic Conference. The Norse values emphasized were hardihood, hospitality, economy, and friendship. its name meant "Breath of the North," with a ritual based on Native American and Norse values. Lambda Omega had begun as the Norroena club at Berkeley in 1915. Early in its history, the fraternity merged with Lambda Omega sorority, which only the year prior had absorbed Alpha Sigma Delta sorority. It benefited, too, from mergers with smaller groups. Theta Upsilon would eventually install 38 chapters across the country. Ida Shaw Martin, of the Sorority Service Bureau, is credited with outlining the plans for Theta Upsilon and perfected its ritual. On February 7, 1921, the Mekatina students renamed themselves inaugural members of the Alpha chapter of Theta Upsilon. The formal founding date, according to Delta Zeta's history, was January 1, 1914. Mekatina had a ritual based on Native American themes. It was called Mekatina, which meant "Among the Hills". In the academic year of 1913– 1914, twelve girls organized an official "house club" under the university. The house became known as "The Walnut Shell". Theta Upsilon began as a local club at the University of California, Berkeley when six female students moved into a house on Walnut Street. Theta Upsilon ( ΘΥ) was a national women's fraternity operating in the United States from February 1921 until May 1962, when the group was absorbed by the Delta Zeta sorority.
