Alpha Chi Omega was founded on October 15, 1885, at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. At a time when women were just beginning to occupy seats in college classrooms, seven female students formed a women’s society within the school. Alpha Chi Omega is an organization built by and for real, strong women. Our founders laid the groundwork for a sisterhood which would span decades and transform hundreds of thousands of women into the best versions of themselves through supportive friendships and extraordinary opportunities for leadership, learning and service. The Kappa Tau chapter at The University of Connecticut was founded on November 15, 2014, and our members have continued to exemplify our five pillars of academic interest, character, responsibility, leadership, and personal development since.
Message from the Chapter President
 |
Alpha Chi Omega is driven by our five pillars of membership– academic interest, character, responsibility, leadership, and personal development. Alpha Chi Omega is a place where real, strong women find connection, a community of support, and opportunities to grow among those who encourage them to chase their passions and value them for who they really are— and want to become. We believe in fostering a deep sense of community where women can share diverse viewpoints and beliefs, excel academically and demonstrate thoughtful leadership and exploration. I am beyond proud to represent a group of women who inspire, challenge, and believe in me. |
