Last week a major fire broke out on the Longwood College campus in Farmville, Virginia. Fortunately, only two minor injuries were reported. However, Longwood College (originally State Female Normal School)is the birthplace of 4 sororities: Kappa Delta, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Zeta Tau Alpha, and Alpha Sigma Alpha.
Many buildings suffered major damage. Sadly, the room where Kappa Delta's 4 founders created the sorority in 1897 was destroyed. A part of KD's history is gone forever.
(I don't know the details about the other 3 sororities' founding sites.)
I hope you will all join me in wishing the students and alumni of Longwood College all the best.
