Sigma Chi Delta

Celebrating over a Decade of Sisterhood!

Founder's Day - April 14, 1991

The active body would like to thank all of the women before us who have helped make this sisterhood special.  We appreciate the hard work and dedication it took to build this sisterhood, and we strive to uphold the values that make Sigma Chi Delta unique.

The Thirteen Founding Mothers... and Founder's Day!

In March of 1991, national social sorority Alpha Sigma Tau attempted to colonize on Truman State University's campus (then known as Northeast Missouri State University).  Although the quota of thirty women that was needed for colonization was not met, the meeting was not a complete loss.  Thirteen women from that group emerged with an idea to form their own sorority, apart from the national ones already established at Truman State.

Beginning the necessary steps in creating a sorority, thirteen women took the challenge of starting the chapter now known as Sigma Chi Delta.  These thirteen women, our Founding Mothers, created the long tradition of sisterhood that still exists today.

Our Founding Mothers are:

Jenne Barthel

Chris Blank

Brenda Cash

Kathleen Corbett

Kim Gray

Jan Horn

Jacki Janovski

Julie Jensen

Erin Lysaght

Renee Reyfeldt

Mortisha Rodgers (Diosadado)

Jennifer Seyfert

Tamara Welsh

Official declaration of the letters was on April 14, 1991, which was appropriately named Founder's Day.  On this day, Sigma Chi Delta became an official sisterhood.

May 12, 1991 marked the day that the social organization charter from the Campus Activity and Organization Center confirmed the establishment of Sigma Chi Delta.

In 2001, the women of Sigma Chi Delta proudly celebrated their 10 year anniversary.

In 2005, the women of Sigma Chi Delta are getting the first sorority house in Kirksville.
