University of Delaware
February 3, 1979
20 years strong.....20 years and we still got it goin on!
We have a special need....to feel that we belong
The Founding of the Chi Theta Chapter was very similiar to the founding of that first chapter many decades ago. Five strong, young, confident women decided that the University of Delaware campus was ready for something new and different. Thus, on February 3, 1979, the Chi Theta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, was born. The charter line is known as:
GENESIS-THE NEW BIRTH
DEBBIE WESTON
SUSAN JOHNSON
JOANNE WINSTON-FENNER
CATHIE MCKNIGHT
VANESSA HENRY-JERVEY
Since the charter line, more than 59 members of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated have been introduced to the Blue and White World through the Chi Theta Chapter.
Each year, the Chi Theta Chapter is proud to host the first organizational week of programs at the University of Delaware. Focusing on the seven point plan of the National Organization the Chi Theta Chapter presents programs of interest and entertainment to the entire University Campus. Please see Lady Cat Productions for detailed information about other programs held by the Chi Theta Chapter.
In addition the Chi Theta Chapter is a leader on campus in new technology, being the first greek lettered organization to have a indexed web site, which is linked to the University. The ladies of the Chi Theta Chapter serve on the NPHC executive board, the Black Student Union, and are resident assistants in various dormitories.
Unlike other sororities, Zeta Phi Beta is a community service-action oriented organization. As such, the Chi Theta Chapter stays active within the surrounding communities of the University of Delaware. We are contributors to the Emmaus House, and volunteers at Girls Incorporated. The Chi Theta Chapter also assists their graduate chapter Epislon Rho Zeta in the bi-annual cleaning of their several mile long highway in Newark.
What does the future hold for Chi Theta? Heading in to the new millenium the chapter will continue to focus on quality not quantity. And community service not social service. We are and will be the leaders of the University of Delaware campus.
