Delta Founders marched in the 1913 Women's Suffrage March in D.C. (during a time where there were huge racial inequalities to compound the huge gender inequalities).
Generally speaking, women's GLOs were founded because women needed to support each other in being a minority among the student population. Think about it, the first women to attend college were no doubt feminists. It comes as no surprise to me that the first college to admit women was also the birthplace of the first women's GLO.
