Fraternity and Sorority History
Our History at Pepperdine
Nationally-recognized chapters were chartered as early as 1995 at Pepperdine University where local chapters and social clubs were encouraged to identify and become adopted into a national organization. We receive many inquiries from alumni/alumnae of Seaver asking which chapter their group transitioned into. To the best of our knowledge these are the transition pairings (from records maintained from the Pepperdine Libraries):
| Local Chapter/Social Club | National Chapter |
|---|---|
| Delta Tau Omega sorority | Alpha Phi |
| Kappa Psi Delta sorority | Delta Delta Delta |
| The Anchor | Delta Gamma |
| Sigma Tau Alpha | Gamma Phi Beta |
| Theta Alpha Phi sorority | Kappa Alpha Theta |
| Zeta Kappa sorority | Kappa Kappa Gamma |
| Pi Gamma Phi sorority | Pi Beta Phi |
| Xi Kappa Sigma | Sigma Kappa (dormant) |
| Beta Phi Alpha fraternity | Beta Theta Pi (deactivated) |
| Lambda Omega Sigma fraternity | Psi Upsilon |
| Tau Rho Sigma fraternity | Sigma Phi Epsilon |
| The Shield | Sigma Chi |
| Sigma Psi fraternity | Sigma Nu (deactivated) |
