Social and sports events are recorded in scrapbooks from the Women's Athletic Association, the Women's Recreation Association, and Delta Psi Kappa (Alpha Lambda chapter), the Physical Education professional women’s honorary society. More information on the history of women's athletics at Northern can be found in the Student Papers and Student Activities records series.
The materials in the third series document the Secretary of Education’s Commission on Opportunity in Athletics [Title IX at 30]. Northern Illinois University’s Intercollegiate Athletics Director, Cary Groth was a member of this Commission which was active from mid-2002 to early 2003.
