    On February 21, 1987, Cynthia Garza, Nellie Flores, Irene Montoya, and Melissa Montoya came up with the idea of creating a sorority that would help unify and promote leadership among Hispanic women at Texas Tech University. They also incorporated the ideas of love, friendship, and Christianity into the organization. Kappa Delta Chi, was the name chosen for the sorority, with the values of Unity, Honesty, Integrity, and Leadership to uphold.
