Our Roots

A local group of women, Zeta Chi Delta, was formed in 1921 and officially became the South Dakota Alpha Chapter in 1927 after installation by past Grand President Amy Burnham Onken, Illinois Epsilon. Eighteen collegians and 20 alumnae members were initiated, and celebratory activities included a Cookie Shine and a dance.

Supporting Sisters’ Dreams

Chapter-specific scholarship funds support collegiate chapter members as they pursue their academic dreams and professional goals. By giving to a scholarship fund, donors can directly impact their own chapter sisters and open doors that might not have been possible otherwise.
