This Day In History: Kappa Lambda Sets Cornerstone for 38 Years of Tradition and Excellence

In the Fall of 1971, a Sorority was established at Husson College in Bangor, Maine under the guidance of Lambda Chapter of Kappa Delta Phi National Fraternity. The purpose of this sorority was to allow the spirit and principles of the Fraternity to be generated among young women in the same college atmosphere.

The Husson College Sorority was the largest of any of the local sororities. This prompted Lambda Chapter President, Glen Dabransky, and National Board Member, Ned Foster, to derive a plan by which the local sorority could enjoy the name, attraction, and prestige of a National Sorority chapter. One other important reason was the fact that the new sorority had to compete with two National Sororities already well established on campus. Difficulties arose with them being recognized by the Greek Council. However, the women were determined to continue their sorority, and requested some type of National support via the Fraternity.

On December 6, 1971, Kappa Lambda Sorority was officially given the distinction of being the first chapter of Kappa Delta Phi, National Affiliated Sorority.

Twenty-three women founded Kappa Lambda Chapter at Husson College. The founding members of Kappa Lambda Chapter are: Pat Ouellette, Angie Parker, Kathy Luciano, Dee Tzovarras, Tricia Crosby, Laurie Beckwith, Joanna Lobozzo, Becky Ritter, Joyce Welch, Renie Mountain, Bridgett Burtchell, Bonnie Griener, Nancee Brearly, Debbie Therriauly, Barbie Richard, Eileen Coombs, Karen Kulikowski, Kathi Gleason, Jan Spaulding, Sharon Soles, Sue Caron, Leslie Vartabedian, and Mimi McBride. They were lead by Leslie Vartabedian, who was the first President of the Chapter and advised by Cathy Hegarty.
