I thought the Quad wasn't completed until 1940 - before that, there was only one women's dorm (Smith - housing 35 girls), but most of the women lived in private residences. The sororities just rented rooms in houses. But when the Quad opened in 1940, all 4 sororities in existence then (KD, Chi-O, Sigma Rho, and Phi Delta Rho) rented rooms.
