Chi Delta Theta Sorority was officially established at the University of California, Santa Barbara, on October 13, 1989. Our founding mothers, Miss Alison Suto-Stripling and Miss Joanne Yamaoka, along with seventeen other founding members, founded the Alpha Chapter of Chi Delta Theta. It was the first Asian-American interest sorority on the UC Santa Barbara campus.
Now, almost fifteen years later, the sorority has not only prevailed, it is thriving and the spirit of sisterhood is alive at University of California at Santa Barbara, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Loyola Marymount University, Cal State Long Beach, and University of California at Davis.
On November 13, 2001, Chi Delta Theta, Inc. was established.
