Our Chapter
Beta Upsilon chapter of Kappa Delta was founded 60 years ago on May 20, 1950. The chapter was established on Susquehanna University's campus by a group of women who identified themselves with the high values and standards that Kappa Delta embodies. There are currently 60 sisters in Beta Upsilon chapter of Kappa Delta Sorority.
Since the chapter's founding, Kappa Delta sisters have been an active part of Susquehanna's Greek community. Sisters have also contributed greatly to many other campus organizations and sports teams. Currently, each sister of Beta Upsilon is involved in another campus group and 13 girls hold positions in those organizations.

Not only do we highly value academics and campus involvement, we strive each day to promote a positive and strong female role model for younger girls in the local community, women on campus and each other. The relationships and sisterly bonds created in Kappa Delta allow us to support each sister in achieving our goals. Although the college always seems to end much too soon, the sisterhood does not. The bonds created within KD extend long after graduation, and KD alumae are always welcome and encouraged to meet and spend time with current, active sisters.

"Friendship was the ideal of Kappa Delta, and it grew out of the beautiful friendship of four girls. We felt it could be extended to a large multitude of girls; there was so much of itin our hearts for each other. The friendship young girls have for each other is a very lovely thing, unselfish, pure, very loyal, and brave for the sake of its name, and that is why Kappa Delta has endured, because she sprang from such a pure source."
--Lenora Ashmore (Blackiston), The Angelos, 1912
