Historical Note

The first chapter of Delta Delta Delta was founded in 1888 at Boston University. In 1919, the Sigma Gamma local sorority was founded at Whitman College and granted a charter by the faculty overseers. The group sent a petition to the National Council of Delta Delta Delta in 1922 to become chartered. Whitman's Theta Omicron chapter was installed on January 20, 1923 as the 62nd chapter of the fraternity. In May 2005, the Executive Office of Delta Delta Delta withdrew the charter of the Theta Omicron Chapter because of consistent and continuing low membership. The Delta Delta Delta chapter room has functioned as the Spirituality room since then.
