History
The Chicago Loop Group, originally called the Chicago Alumnae Alliance, was founded on May
15, 1897. One of the original founding four members of Delta Delta Delta, Dr.
Elizabeth Dorcas Pond Mann formed this alliance, one of the first national alumnae
chapters. Dr. Mann, a woman pioneer in the field of medicine, joined with
other professional women to continue the development of Tri-Delta ideals. These
traditions remain active today in the Chicago Loop Group Alumnae Chapter.
