The young women were eager to expand the Sorority after its founding. The sorority initially expanded with a second chapter, Beta, established at Wilberforce University, February 5, 1914.Giddings 1988, op. cit., p. 69-70. This began the process of which Delta Sigma Theta would expand as individual chapters rather than a perpetual body. The third chapter, Gamma, was established in 1918 at the University of Pennsylvania. Soon after, Delta Chapter was established (April 4, 1919) at the University of Iowa and Epsilon Chapter at The Ohio State University (November 19, 1919).Giddings 1988, op. cit., p. 73-74.
