Sandy Saffell Papers and Ephemera, 1958-2012

Sandra Kay “Sandy” Saffell came to WSU in 1963 as a college freshman, and was accepted to Alpha Delta Pi (hereafter ADPi) during that fall’s rush. She was her sorority’s vice-president and pledge trainer during fall of 1965, and graduated in 1967 with a B.A. in Recreation. For one semester, fall of 1964, she lived in Streit Hall when she lost her sorority eligibility for academic reasons.

After graduation, Saffell remained active with her sorority, serving as an advisor while living in Las Vegas (1967-1968), St. Louis (1968-1971), and Europe (1971-1974). She has remained active as an alumnus since.

The Theta Kappa sorority was organized on the WSU (then WSC) campus on October 9, 1909. Just under three years later, on October 5, 1912, it became the Upsilon chapter of the national Alpha Delta Pi (ADPi) sorority. This was WSC’s second national sorority chapter. During the timeframe of this collection the sorority was located at 609 NE Linden; as of 2017 it remains in the same location, though the address changed in the 1970s to 725 NE Linden St.
