Dynamite Delta Beta Chapter
The "Dynamite" Delta Beta chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. was chartered on April 19, 1952 on the campus of Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Il. Delta Beta was chartered by what we call "The 9 Goddesses.
The charter members consist of Malinda Balinger, Iantha Brown, Evelyn Coleman, Laverna Cornelious, Gwendolyn Holliday, Lovenger Hamilton, Jeanetta Hickman, Doris James, and Christine McKinney.
For 70 years, Delta Beta has brought many different service, educational, and entertainment events to the Carbondale campus. Every year, Delta Beta also
partners with the graduate chapter, Gamma Kappa Omega to offer a college scholarship to a Carbondale Community High School graduating senior who upholds the principles of the organization.
