Delta Kappa Psi

Delta Kappa Psi Redlands' First and Finest Sorority Deltas have always been first. Charter Member Ruth Holt, who served as the first Delta president, was the daughter of Mr.

Classes commenced at the University of Redlands on September 30, 1909 under the direction of its first President, Jasper Newton Field. Less than eight months later, on May 17, 1910, five of the twenty women enrolled at the fledgling University founded the first sorority on campus, Delta Kappa Psi. Charter Members included Ruth (Bekins) Holt, Lois (Field) Clatworthy, Helen (Field) Webster, Harriet

Stuart and Beatrice (Fessenden) Fowler. and Mrs. Martin Bekins who funded the building of Bekins Hall, the first dormitory on campus. Two of President Field’s daughters, Lois and Helen Field, were among the five founder members of Delta. In addition, one of the most admired women in Redlands history, Mrs. Elbert (Mary Kimberly) Shirk, daughter of Kimberly-Clark paper company co-founder John Alfred Kimberly, became one of the first Delta Patronesses on November 22, 1922. Through the foresight and generosity of Mrs. Shirk, Redlands now benefits from Kimberly Crest House and Gardens and Prospect Park.
