Delta Chapter of Alpha Beta Epsilson, originally founded as the ABE Alumnae Sorority of Western Michigan University in 1930, promoted the well-being of its members, cooperated with WMU to further interest in higher education, and sought to form a lasting sisterhood of its members. It changed its title to the Delta Chapter eleven years later in 1941, becoming one of at least 22 chapters throughout Michigan and Indiana. Delta Chapter contributed to the university is a variety of ways, notably with four stained glass windows and the choir stalls in Kanley Chapel, outdoor benches across campus, and a rose mirror of Blanche Draper, the first honorary member of the chapter. A scholarship, the Alpha Beta Epsilon/Lucille Abbot Knobbs Endowment Fund, continues to offer funding for members and the direct descendants of members.
