In March 1913, less than two months after the sorority's founding, Deltas marched down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C. for women's suffrage. Delta's political activism is alive and well in the Bloomington-Normal Alumnae Chapter (BNAC).

Voter Education - BNAC distributes voting information regarding registration, early voting, and casting absentee ballots.
