Our Chapter

SDSU’s First and Finest

Founded in 1949, the Beta Rho Chapter of Kappa Delta is San Diego State University’s first sorority. Over the past 50 years, we have grown in strength and numbers, from a handful of ambitious young women to over a two hundred returning members in the fall of 2007. Our members are women from diverse backgrounds, even from other nations, who are athletes, scholars, musicians, artists, philanthropists and more–all united by our sisterhood and the high ideals of Kappa Delta

Among our proudest achievements: San Diego State Award for Outstanding Alumnae relations, being recognized as a Golden Laurel Chapter (which is the top 90% of chapters nation-wide), winning the Dean’s Trophy for Chapter Excellence two years in a row, winning Greek Week three years in a row, donating over 5,000 dollars to Kappa Delta’s philanthropies, and a history of awards for President of the Year and Risk Management and Social Programing.
The Kappa Delta house is located in Greek Circle on College Ave. We have occupied our current chapter house longer than any other greek organization at SDSU, providing not only a living space for some members, but also a meeting place and home-away-from- home for all members, and a home to return to for our alumnae. The Kappa Delta house boasts a large chapter room where meetings and recruitment events are held and can comfortably hold more than 120 KDs. Our house which is over 12,000 sq. ft. also has a sundeck, living room, dinning room, recreation room, and kitchen. Lining our chapter room are composite chapter photographs of the hundreds of San Diego Kappa Deltas before us, who also found their home and their sisters in Kappa Delta.
