Description
One of the original fraternities at Farmington State Normal School was Sigma Omicron Sigma. In 1931, it was accepted into the national Kappa Delta Phi fraternity and designated as the Zeta Chapter. Kappa Delta Phi was very popular in New England, with eight out of the nine national chapters located at New England schools. In 1937, the fraternity incorporated to purchase the old Abbott School dormitory as its house. The fraternity thrived until low enrollment of men due to the war forced it to become inactive from 1943 – 1946. After the war, it rebuilt membership and resumed its social activities, including dances, a Minstrel Show and annual Mother's Day program.
