Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Delta Chi Delta sorority of Pacific University was chartered in 1959. Soon after its initial formation, the sorority quickly became visible on the Pacific campus, hosting events such events as the Blue Lagoon dinner, rush events, May Day breakfast, homecoming festivities and charity activities. After becoming inactive in the 1980s, Delta Chi Delta re-established its charter in 2001.
