Our Story
Alpha Chi Omega was founded on October 15, 1885, at DePauw University, located in Greencastle, Indiana. At a time when women were just beginning to occupy seats in college classrooms, seven female students were encouraged to form a women's society within the school.
Dedicated to advancing “the intellectual, social, and moral culture” of its members, our Founders’ vision has grown to include our women’s Fraternity, the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation, the National Housing Corporation, and Pearl Stone Partners. Together, they serve more than 230,000 members in more than 140 collegiate chapters and 300,000 sisters have proudly worn the lyre since our founding in 1885.
Epsilon Eta
The Epsilon Eta chapter of Alpha Chi Omega at Stephen F. Austin State University was founded on May 6, 1967. Now, more than 50 years later, our chapter continues to serve as real, strong women for both our national organization as well as in our local community.
We pride ourselves in holding the standards for our sisters high and for continuing to seek the heights in all that we do.
Something special to Epsilon Eta is the sisterhood that we share in our chapter. Behind the scenes of all of the photos on social media, we really are a group of women that work together to uplift and nurture the Real. Strong. Women. in each of us, not only within the chapter, but in the community as well.
A letter from our Vice President of Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion
DEI has always been a big part of my life. I noticed the immense difference that DEI had in my life. I knew that I wanted this position. I wanted to be a voice and advocate for my sisters. This position means so much to me and it is an honor to hold this position!
Since I was a new member I noticed the difference DEI made in my experience. I wanted to he the voice that educates and makes changes! This position has made such a difference in my life. It is empowering to see the chapter grow! I truly believe that I have made a difference in this chapter!
