国际历史

Alpha Chi Omega于1885年10月15日在格林堡的德堡大学成立， 印第安纳州. That’s about 70 miles southwest of our current headquarters in 印第安纳州polis.

Back when America was getting used to the notion that women belonged in 大学 at all, the dean of DePauw’s School of Music, Professor James Hamilton Howe, invited seven of his female students to form a women’s society within the school.

我们的 founders took Professor Howe’s suggestion a step further 和 formed a women’s fraternity, only the sixth of its kind in the country. 他们是第一批这样的人 in the music school 和 believed they’d be the last. 所以他们选择了这个名字 first 和 last letters of the Greek alphabet—Alpha 和 Omega. 他们写了" Kai "这个词 (和) in the middle, later changed it to the Greek letter Chi.

我们的 founders wanted Alpha Chi Omega to advance “the intellectual, social 和 moral 成员的“文化”. 它工作. Today, our women’s Fraternity, the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation 和 our National Housing Corporation serve more than 200,000 members in more than 130 collegiate chapters 和 200 alumnae chapters nationwide.
