Mu Delta Alpha Sorority
Mu Delta Alpha was established in 2014 at the University of Dallas at Texas by a group
of friends who saw the need for representation at the university level for women like
them.
Wichita State University will soon start the first Muslim Greek organization in the
state of Kansas.
Starting this summer, Mu Delta Alpha Sorority Inc., started in 2014 at the University
of Dallas, will expand to WSU.
Since 2016, Wichita State University has been home to an interest-group for a Muslim
sorority. Founded in 2017, Muslimahs 4 Change (M4C) has been a recognized student
organization that believes in empowering women without comprising their diverse identities.
Now the women of Muslimahs 4 Change will start working toward becoming a fully established
sorority chapter, called Mu Delta Alpha Sorority Inc.
Coining the term “Warrior Women,” M4C has planned successful events such as World
Hijab Day, a self-defense class for women, and a collaboration with Student Activities
Council to bring spoken word artist, Amal Kassir, to campus. Most recently, M4C partnered
with the Muslim Student Association to host a candlelight vigil to honor the victims
of the Christchurch Mosque attack in New Zealand.
This organization will join Wichita State’s thriving fraternity and sorority community
of 22 organizations and 950-plus students. The community currently averages a 3.156
GPA and raised over $115,000 for various philanthropic causes in 2018. Members have
also completed over 30,000 hours of community service in the past year and continue
to take great pride in being agents in campus traditions.
