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.
