The Sigma Omicron alumnae and undergraduate leadership has developed a solid plan to address the long-term viability of the Kappa Delta experience on the University of Illinois campus. Through careful study, assessment, and planning, it has been determined that building at a new location will provide functional spaces and amenities to meet the needs of the current and future collegiate members as well as help the chapter remain competitive and provide a space for alumnae to gather. Following a capital campaign, the house corporation has partnered with Winstead Wilkinson Architects PLLC to design a 28,815 square foot chapter house at 110 East Armory that will provide immediate access to campus as well as an environment in which KDs can create new memories.
