| HIstory
On March 25, 1917, seven young women who exemplified self-confidence and the willingness to take a chance, founded a new sorority at Cornell University. Most of the seven had experienced the discrimination practiced against religious minorities by many Greek organizations at the time. In response to the closed doors, these strong women established a sorority which would respect the individuality of its members. The personal growth and social development of each individual was the basis upon which the new organization would be built. |
