AXD at Georgia Institute of Technology

The first National Sorority at an Engineering School!

From the Gamma Eta chapter website:

"In 1954, the only five women who attended Tech were invited by Mrs. Van Leer, the President's wife and an Alpha Xi alumna, to a meeting at the alumna’s home. After leaving the tea party, they were so impressed with the Alpha Xi Delta National Council that they decided to start their own chapter of Alpha Xi Delta. Elizabeth Hearndon approached an alumna and with everyone's help they were granted permission to begin the formation of the chapter on Tech's campus! The Gamma Eta Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta was created on April 24th, 1954 and its members included all five women who had attended the tea. Their names are:

Shirley Clements Mewborn

Elizabeth Hearndon

Helen Kimbrough

Diana Michel

Caroline Seals"

On April 1, 1967, the Epsilon Kappa Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta was installed at Western Kentucky University. In the chapter’s first year, Epsilon Kappa dove right into WKU’s Greek community. In their report to National Council, the women shared they were in the process of practicing for Spring Sing, a tradition still held at WKU to this day!

Alpha Xi Delta flourished on campus and gave the Fraternity and the WKU community many dedicated officers and leaders. The Epsilon Kappa Chapter remained on WKU’s campus from 1967 to 1993, when it became dormant due to a decline in membership. Above is a photo of some Epsilon Kappa Chapter women in 1970.

Just noticed a whole bunch on the University of Illinois Greek Life Page:


Kappa Alpha Psi - no date listed


Acacia - no date listed


Alpha Chi Omega - 1989


Delta Gamma - 1997 (although I think we're still a few years away from '97 being retro!)


Greek Week photo - 1991

You have to wonder about yourself when you check out the Retro Pictures to make sure you're not IN any of them!

LOL, I know, Honey! And I looked at those 1989 Alpha Chi gals upthread and thought, "They look pretty normal to me!"

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought that! LOL!

I looked at the 1991 Illini Greek Week one and felt instantly at home with the look and feel of the group.
