The Epsilon Alpha Chapter was first chartered on May 24th, 1952 by five men who were initiated Delts from other chapters throughout the Southeast.
The first Delt House was soon outgrown by the chapter, and in 1964, moved into the location that it would hold until the chapter was closed in 1999. The chapter grew to be one of the most prominent chapters at Auburn University throughout the 1970's and 80's. The chapter won the Hugh Shields award in 1972, 1973, and 1976. The Epsilon Alpha chapter closed due to low membership in 1999, but was rechartered in 2004.
One of the most prominent initiates was Thomas K. Mattingly, who later became an Apollo astronaut. On the Apollo 16 mission, Brother Mattingly set an Auburn University flag and a Delt flag on the moon.
