History of Sigma Chi Delta

​

In March of 1991, national social sorority Alpha Sigma Tau attempted to colonize on Truman State University’s campus (then known as Northeast Missouri State University). Although the quota of thirty women that was needed for colonization was not met, the meeting was not a complete loss. Thirteen women from that group emerged with an idea to form their own sorority, apart from the national ones already established at Truman State.



 

Beginning the necessary steps in creating a sorority, thirteen women took the challenge of starting the chapter now known as Sigma Chi Delta. These thirteen women, our Founding Mothers, created the long tradition of sisterhood that still exists today.



Official declaration of the letters was on April 14, 1991, which was appropriately named Founder’s Day. On this day, Sigma Chi Delta became an official sisterhood.



May 12, 1991 marked the day that the social organization charter from the Campus Activity and Organization Center confirmed the establishment of Sigma Chi Delta.



In 2005, the women of Sigma Chi Delta were the first to receive a sorority house in Kirksville. 



In 2011, we moved out of our old house and into a newer, nicer house.
