I believe that the Beta Delta Chapter of Alpha Phi Fraternity formed as a local at the University of California, Southern Branch in 1919 (later changed to UCLA in 1927). We were chartered as the Beta Delta Chapter by Alpha Phi Fraternity in 1924.

When we had our 75th Anniversary Celebration in Fall 1999, two of our founding chapter sisters were present. They went into the library and found the Historian's Journal from 1924 and read us the entries about writing to the fraternity and receiving a letter informing them that they would be an Alpha Phi Colony. They also read to us about collecting $10 from each graduating senior to start the House Corporation Board and buy property on Hilgard to start a house. It was so neat to meet them and hear about the chapter's chartering from people who were there.
