Delta Theta
D elta Theta was established in 1925 by 13 girls
from Abilene. At first it was called the Lucky
13 and the club was limited to 13 women.
Then in 1932, the club name was changed to
P.A.L.S. More members were allowed to join and
could be from anywhere.
In 1943 the name was changed again to Delta
Theta, and the colors were changed from black and
green to black and white.
"Our club started out with superstition," said
Shacie Rogers, senior integrated marketing major
from Amarillo and club president. "The black cat is
our mascot, and the horseshoe. Luck is our theme."
Their verse is Genesis 31:49: "May the Lord keep
watch between you and me when we are away from
each other."
Delta Theta is involved in the Abilene community.
Members do a lot of activities with kids, like child
care during Lectureship. DT also does service work
at Sears Heritage on East North 10th Street. And to
promote unity the club has devotionals every
Monday night.
"We stress unity throughout pledging," Shacie
said. "And when members graduate, we try to keep
in touch. We have a really close bond and are really
active."
Each year Delta Theta has three traditional rushes.
There's the Women in Black rush, a devotional
rush on the steps of the Administration Building
steps and a rock star rush.
Fiesta is aslo a common theme at many DT
events. This year members had a fiesta grub with colorful
decorations, food and shirts. There was also a
Fiesta spring rush for next year's pledges.This year's social was a black and white ball,
where the members and their dates wore only black,
white or a combination of the two.
When asked what DT was looking for in a
prospective member Shacie said, "I would say someone
involved in the ACU community."-Sarah Braim
