Historical Note
The first chapter of Delta Delta Delta was founded in 1888 at Boston
University. In 1919, the Sigma Gamma local sorority was founded at Whitman
College and granted a charter by the faculty overseers. The group sent a
petition to the National Council of Delta Delta Delta in 1922 to become
chartered. Whitman's Theta Omicron chapter was installed on January 20, 1923 as
the 62nd chapter of the fraternity. At Whitman College, sorority activities
included membership recruitment functions and participation in traditions such
as the homecoming float parade and the annual Whitman Choral Contest. The Tri
Deltas also held banquets and formal dances, and had fundraisers to support
philanthropic causes. In May 2005, the Executive Office of Delta Delta Delta
withdrew the charter of the Theta Omicron Chapter because of consistent and
continuing low membership.
Content Description
The richest source of information in this collection consists of the
annual and pledge class scrapbooks that document the activities of the sorority
and its members. Researchers should note, however, that there are no scrapbooks
from the 1960s. The administrative files provide information regarding sorority
governance and new member recruitment in the late 20th and early 21st
centuries. Photographs and academic files, consisting of tests, papers, and
homework completed by sorority members, comprise the remainder of the
collection.
