Alumnae

Delta Theta's beginnings paint a beautiful picture of our honorable alumnae. Kappa Delta at Samford University was installed on February 24, 1968, and unfortunately closed in March of 1985. There were 203 women initiated into the chapter when it was active on campus, and during their tenure at Samford, the chapter had many notable accomplishments. Delta Theta joined Samford at a time when there were four other active and thriving Kappa Delta chapters in Alabama and when we reestablish in fall of 2023, Delta Theta will be among six other thriving KD chapters in the state. While on campus, KD at Samford excelled academically and stayed true to Kappa Delta’s values by being known for its community service work, volunteering at orientation at Children’s of Alabama. The chapter was also known for being very active on campus. In a single year, Delta Theta won four trophies at the Intramural Awards Program for basketball, badminton singles, outstanding athlete and overall superior performance. Another year, the chapter placed second in Lambda Chi Alpha’s Tricycle Race and hosted a Greek get-together with Pi Kappa Phi. The chapter also placed first in attendance for the S-Day Football Game City Panhellenic Scholarship Cup. Additionally, Kappa Delta participated in Step Sing each year, is eager to participate in next year's event. Kappa Delta had, and will continue to have, great influence and representation on the Samford campus: The Harwell G. Davis Library and Vail Hall were named in honor of Dr. Davis, former President and Chancellor, and his wife, Lena Vail Davis, a Kappa Delta. Memory Leake Robinson Hall, also known as the Cumberland Law School building, is named in memory of Mr. Robinson, a prominent attorney and husband of Eleanor Barnwell Robinson, a Kappa Delta from the University of Alabama. We're thankful for the Delta Theta's who left a legacy at Samford, and can't wait to build an even greater and better Kappa Delta on campus this fall!
