Business and Professional Women – Furthering the dream of Economic Independence
On September 23, 1972, the Beta Delta Chapter of Iota Phi Lambda Sorority, Incorporated in Galena Park, Texas was chartered.

Each member of the Beta Delta Chapter joined the National Council of Negro Women, one of our affiliate organizations. One of Beta Delta’s first acts of community service was adopting three children at an event when they sponsored Adopt a Child with Harris County Adoption Center at Texas Southern University.
Through the years, Beta Delta has served the community by conducting career fairs, teen pregnancy awareness workshops, providing scholarships and presenting book signings for up-and-coming authors.
Beta Delta is an active chapter of Iota Phi Lambda Sorority, Incorporated. We have had several regional officers, one Regional Director and our charter member, Lillian Parker, is a past National President.
