alpha gam chapter closed

The Eta chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta was first established on the DePauw University campus in 1908. The original chapter lasted only 9 years, closing in 1917. During the 1923-24 school year Phi Sigma Delta, a local sorority, obtained a charter from Alpha Gamma Delta and the chapter was re-established at 202 S. Indiana St. (Chapin property at corner of Indiana St. and Poplar St.) In 1924-25 the sorority purchased the property of Mrs. Susie Bittles at 606 East Washington St. It was damaged by fire in April 1926. In 1929-30 the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority rebuilt at 503 South Locust Street. In 1962 the sorority relocated to its final location at 436 Anderson Street until its closing in 1993. The property was transferred to the Putnam County Foundation at the end of 1996. In May 1998 DePauw bought the house from the Foundation.

They closed due to low membership.

What years would your mother have been there? If between 1972-76, maybe I knew her and I’d be happy to tell you what life was like there. I just spent the weekend with several of my Alpha Gam sisters from DePauw, sharing stories.
