Beta Delta Pi
The Alpha chapter began as D.D.D. in January, 1887 at Bucknell Female Institute. On September 15, 1887, the sorority changed its name to Beta Delta Pi. Little else is known about this sorority. A Beta chapter was chartered at Miss Gordon's Private School in Philadelphia. The Lambda chapter was colonized at Toronto in 1914. Lambda decided "something must be done to strengthen our position nationally" ( Alpha Gamma Delta Quarterly, p. 89). The chapter affiliated with Alpha Gamma Delta.
The sorority was "renewed" in 1916 (Women of Today, 1925).
The 1917 edition of Toronto's yearbook gave the following chapters: Alpha, Lewisburg, PA; Beta, Philadelphia; Gamma, New York City; Delta, Stamford, Conn.; Epsilon, Chevy Chase; Eta, Peekskill-on-the-Hudson; Theta, Hollidaysburg, Pa.; Iota, Atlantic City; Lambda, Toronto.
The colors were nile green and pink (L'Agenda 1895).
