Goucher College, chartered in 1885 as the Women’s College of Baltimore, was established in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Methodist Church. It was formally opened in 1888 and became known as independent and nondenominational. The interest in the education of women and the gifts of Dr. and Mrs. John L. Goucher caused the college to be renamed in 1910.

Delta Theta as a chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma was short-lived, a mere 10- years. Its history as a local, Tau Kappa Phi, was distinguished. Founded as a literary society of the Women’s College of Baltimore, Tau Kap, as it was affectionately known, was the oldest fraternity in a long list of women’s groups. Approached by several nationals, it chose to retain its local identity, was chartered as a fraternity, and never lost its Panhellenic vote.
