Valparaiso University has been the home to sororities since 1917. Alpha Phi Delta Sorority was established in October 1917 as a local sorority only at Valparaiso University. Local sororities were hosted at the University until 1998 when each of the local chapters chose to affiliate with an inter/national sorority that was a member of the National Panhellenic Conference. Since the conversation from local to national organizations, two additional multicultural sororities have been established at the University. The following is the historical timeline of the establishment of sororities at Valparaiso University.
