Delta Alpha Fraternity was founded by five men on February 3, 1948, at Murray State. It was the first fraternity in the Kentucky state college system. Two of the Delta Alpha founders were members of Sigma Chi. One of those, Raymond J. "Buddy" Hewitt, Vanderbilt '49, was instrumental in encouraging the group to petition Sigma Chi rather than accept affiliation offers from other fraternities. In the spring of 1958, President Woods instructed the men of Delta Alpha to seek affiliation with a recognized fraternity. After considering several "old line" fraternities, the group voted unanimously in April of 1958 to petition Sigma Chi for a charter.
I don't know know of any other information or insignia regarding Delta Alpha.
I started Beta Chi in 1965 with the purpose of affiliation with a major national.
We were chosen by and we elected Lambda Chi Alpha to colonize in 1966 and chartered in 1969'

While we were a local for only nine months, I had designed the Pin, Pledge button, Coat of Arms, and Banner. We wore our Pins proudly amd shirts with C of A on them!!
