That group would affiliate with Alpha Phi national sorority in 1960, becoming its Delta Alpha chapter, which was active until 2018. See also the campus newspaper article of Template:Dts announcing the affiliation. The later, Lutheran sorority chapter came about from a colony established specifically for that purpose in 2004.
