Highlights of the 1970s:
Delta celebrated its centennial in October of 1972, which marked 100 years of leadership standing at Indiana University. Actives and alumnae joined over a year in advance to plan Delta’s 100th birthday. Centennial activities were reported in ''The Key'', Winter, 1972. At the banquet, a $3,000 scholarship in rehabilitation was presented by Marjorie Matson Converse, ''Purdue'', then Vice-President of the Fraternity, on behalf of the Fraternity. It was accepted by John W. Ryan, president of Indiana University, who noted, “the integral function of Kappa Kappa Gamma has played in the history of this university.” Other gifts included $2,500 to the Indiana University Art Museum and $1,500 to the Department of Speech and Audiology.
The 1972 Convention, held in Hollywood, Florida, opened with a special tribute to Delta. At the close of Convention, the Chapter received the Pledge Training Award and the May Whiting Westermann Efficiency Award.
Delta’s growth parallels the university’s expansion. The 190 students of 1872 had grown to nearly 31,000 by 1973, and all regional campus enrollment made that number 67,488. During its first 100 years, 1,807 women were initiated into Delta Chapter.
