A University The story of Wisconsin studentthe chapter really began 12-years earlier when Cleo Hedde Woodall, Juliet Meyer Cummard (BrownBarlow), received a letter from Hillsdale, a former member of the Arizona State faculty was asked by the university administration to present the possibility of colonization to Kappa Kappa Gamma member at Indiana University in the fall . Marjorie Miller Hoar, Arizona, Province Director of 1874Chapters, inviting her reported findings to form a Chapter at Wisconsin. Juliet’s name had been selected from the university catalogProvince Convention, and she casually chose roommates and dormitory neighbors as Chapter mates. It happened that, of in 1948 the eight girls occupying two suites of rooms in application was presented to the dormitory, two were seniors and six were juniorsExtension Committee.

This was The committee decided not to colonize at that time but to place Arizona State on the first year that women had been officially integrated at Wisconsin. There were two men’s fraternities, none for women, approved list and faculty attitudes were reputedly hostile. For this reason, bring it before the organization of Eta was secretly performed by correspondencenext biennial convention.

After considerable correspondence, Juliet and her seven friends signed the constitution and oath of initiation, which had been received in cipher. The Chapter campus was established on February 2, 1875, by the Grand Chapter. The first pledge closed to further colonization in 1949 and was Mary Hillnot reopened until 1956 when Mrs. She was relieved when the key Cummard had a request from Dean Catherine Nichols asking Kappa to reconsider. The Scottsdale alumnae voted unanimously in favor of the cipher arrivedmove, and wrote “great relief was felt when the really harmless nature of the dark deed was revealed to later the founders of EtaPhoenix alumnae gave approval.”

From At the beginning42nd Biennial Convention in 1958, it was unanimously voted to colonize at Arizona State.Alphonsine Clapp Howard, Nebraska, regular meetings was appointed local colonization chairman. There were held in the private rooms months of members, and literary exercises were always a part preparation. Members of the program. Informal spreadsArizona Chapter came by bus for the last two parties and February 15, guarded with secrecy and mystery1959, occasionally took place in some bedroom reached through a parlor that acted as a buffer between the festive rites and inquisitive teachers and fellow students. It was not until the golden keys appeared that it began to be rumored that a secret society had been organized. Indignation was great in some quarters29 girls received pledge pins.

Epsilon Delta received its charter at the Fraternity Province Meeting in Tucson. Formal installation and initiation of 28 pledges took place in the Mountain View Presbyterian Church.The college chapter's first full year 1875-76 was a stirring one in college historybegan with 21 members living together on the third floor of C Wing, Palo Verde Hall. Meetings began The chapter furnished and ended in maintained a rowkitchen, chapter room, and pledge room, and the university furnished the bedrooms. New literary societies were formed from schisms in old ones Here fraternity life developed, and members of Eta were leading members of the literary societiesscholarship took precedence over all.

As soon as they became known as KappasMrs. Cummard presented a diamond key for the member receiving the highest grades, they could do nothing without having their motives questioned. They were accused of using their influence to secure appointments and class offices for membersLillian Waterman Mieg, Indiana, of forming gave a clique, and of being an aristocracy. The fraternities were all hated "flat" key award to be worn by the non-fraternity students, who formed themselves into an anti-secret society league that actually did what it was accusing member showing the fraternities of doinggreatest scholarship improvement.

In spite of adverse circumstances, Eta, strong in its seniors, flourishedTwo other awards have became very important to the members. But when the girls of 1876 graduated, there A worthy undergraduate who needed financial aid was little left, and dark days began for Eta. Of given an outright grant from the university’s incoming senior classLouise Diercks Memorial Fund, only two were Kappas, and there was only one named to honor an outstanding young Kappa who died in the junior classher senior year. In three years, membership dwindled 1964 the active chapter presented a plaque to four. These four were determined to pledge only girls who embodied their ideals of Kappa or die as a Alphonsine Howard in appreciation for all she had done for the chapter. They found their pledges and Eta flourished. Mary Hill was secretary Each year since then, the Howard Award has been given to the 1878 General Convention, and Eta was convention hostess in 1882alumna the chapter feels has been most helpful.

By 1883, fraternities at Wisconsin were accepted. In 1884, Dr. John Bascom, president of the university, whose daughter was a Kappa, gave Eta the use of three rooms in South Hall. These rooms were needed for other uses in the spring of 1891, but happily, a professor going on a leave of absence rented Eta his home, completely furnished. The experiment was so successful that the chapter rented another house in the fallActives assisted two alumnae associations with annual fashion shows, and with the help of alumnaeeach year they donate time, found furniture to go in it. In 1894services, the girls gave up the house and rented rooms in the home of Mrs. C. N. Brown. This also proved money to be too expensive, so Eta was again without a chapter house. In 1901, Eta moved to 425 North Park Street, the second Chapter house and the first women’s fraternity in Madison to build its own housephilanthropic project.

At the final banquet, now a faculty member, moved into the new house Convention closed with the girls and became the center singing of the household.

However, after dealing with In 1995 the problem, our chapter is back on the right budget members volunteered more than 300 hours for the new upcoming chapter council.

Additionally, the new women went on a retreat to the Dells to help form important bonds that will ultimately strengthen our entire chapter. So far, it has been a busy, but productive yearFinance.

Another event that the ==Highlights of 2000-2010== The members of Eta Chapter particularly enjoyed was Founder's DayEpsilon Delta continued their strong legacy at Arizona State University. It was wonderful to have the current members interact In 2004 with a number campus of Kappa Kappa Gamma alumni.

It was a fantastic way to educate In 2005, the current Chapter's understanding of Kappa Kappa Gamma's history and lifelong valueschapter had 115 members.

Eta Chapter has The chapter continued to uphold our goal strive in the area of scholarship. Challenges they faced included organization, resistance to promote Greek life on campus as well as uphold Kappa Kappa Gamma's standards for its change among the members. Eta Chapter has been able to display our academic expectations through study tables , finances, and other varies academic activities that are fun as well as rewardinga weak standards committee. Eta Chapter's philanthropyThey addressed these issues by establishing due dates for dues, Hoops for Hopecondensing the calendar, offering strong officer training, hosting more sisterhood events, is a campus wide event that allows members and non-improving the standards committee and risk management program.

The new members have strengthened Eta Chapter and are eager Epsilon Delta continued to become even more engaged in this coming calendar yearorganize their archives on an annual basis.

One challenge that Eta Chapter has experienced is promoting all actives to participate as much as possible. Because Eta Chapter is a large ChapterIn 2006, we are faced with the challenge Epsilon Delta chapter received Panhellenic’s chapter of hosting events and sisterhoods that are able to include the entire Chapterweek two times during the year. Although our sisterhoods are wonderful and successful ASU's campus was now at a record 55,000 students, they have become more and more sparseEpsilon Delta had 120 members. As a ChapterBy 2008 ASU was maintaining four campuses; ASU West, Poly Technic, East Campus, we are striving to strengthen this particular issue and plan to see improvement within the next semester. Another chapter challenge that Eta Chapter is currently dealing with is the fact that we finished the year off with the fourth highest overall GPA ASU Main (in the Pan-Hellenic communityTempe). Although all of the members are working extremely hard There were five Greek Councils: Interfraternity Council, Eta Chapter would like to regain the highest GPA. Eta Chapter is currently planning new academic events that go above and beyond study tables and other current academic opportunities for our members. Eta Chapter is very proud of all of its membersPanhellenic Council, especially when it comes to our academic standingsMulticultural Greek Council, but there are still areas that need some improvement and we, as an entire ChapterNational Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations, plan to address such issues and collaborate to promote and raise our overall GPA for this next semesterthe National Panhellenic Conference.

==Highlights The chapter also refocused organizational efforts by improving parliamentary procedures, utilizing committee structure more efficiently, and implementing a Leadership Academy plan. In 2009 there were 134 active members, and Epsilon Delta held one of the most successful Recruitment efforts that they have experienced in recent years.

Kappa Delta closed on the campus. Epsilon Delta Kappas were 150 members strong. In 2010 the members hosted their first Mothers Weekend.  Throughout 2011'''Housing:''' In 2001 the Kappas, along with all other ASU sororities, moved into new housing on Apache Trail.In 2004 the Eta Chapter cluster housing of Kappa Kappa Gamma has focused its energies trying Adelphi Commons housed 30 Epsilon Delta members.
