Our Story
Kappa Delta Chi Sorority, Inc. emerged to NIU when a penguin-obsessed roommate of the two-now Charter members, Jasmine Aguiniga and Diana Garcia, casually began talking to them at their apartment about an organization that had a penguin as their mascot. As they began to look more into Kappa Delta Chi Sorority, Inc., an interest and love for the sisterhood flourished. KDChi was something completely different than any other sorority at Northern Illinois University.
After vigorous research, what stood out the most of Kappa Delta Chi was their deep commitment to community service and their values, which were principles that reflected in them. In addition, there was an immense need for more diverse organizations present, as only two Latina-founded organizations existed.
Unfortunately, Jasmine & Diana did not know other women on campus to recruit, as their involvement on campus had just begun. Both not knowing who to talk to or where to start in regards on how to bring a new organization to campus, KDChi stayed in their minds for nearly two years before getting things in motion.
