In 1987 four young women from the Rio Grande Valley had a vision while attending Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX. Their vision was to create an organization that promotes academic excellence, fosters professional development, and serves as a voice for the underrepresented. They recognized the need to unify and promote leadership among women at the university level, and that vision became Kappa Delta Chi.

 

Our Founders are Cynthia Garza-Fleitman, Nellie Flores-Ledesma, Irene Montoya, and Melissa Montoya. With the strong foundations of service, Christianity, and friendship, they created a sisterhood that is thriving and stronger than ever. Kappa Delta Chi is home to over 50 chapters at colleges and universities around the nation, and our sisterhood continues to grow year after year as generations of young women commit themselves to a life of service, sisterhood, and success.
