Her-story.
Twenty-three self-identifying women reside in this college owned facility, located at 15 Webster Avenue.
Architects Dwight & Chandler designed the house at 15 Webster Avenue for W.M. Patten in 1896, who owned it at least through 1931. The M.H.M.H. Nurses' School leased the builiding from its owner in 1942, and the house was still in private hands in 1950. The Tau Epsilon Phi Fraternity, founded in 1950, occupied the house by 1961. In 1969 that organization became The Harold Parmington Foundation, later transforming into Delta Psi Delta.
Kappa Alpha Theta grabbed the house over Tri-delt after the fraternity's decline, and Kappa Alpha Theta became us, Epsilon Kappa Theta, in 1992. With such an extensive history, the physical plant continues to be an important part of every sisters' experience.
