Whitman College hosted the Beta Zeta chapter of the national social sorority Alpha Chi Omega from 1928 to 1983. The Alpha Chi Omega collection contains memorabilia and records related to the sorority.
Collection is open for research.
Alpha Chi Omega (also known as Alpha Chi or A Chi O) is a women's fraternity founded on October 15, 1885 at DePauw University. The Beta Zeta Chapter of Alpha Chi Omega, a national sorority, was chartered from local sorority Theta Chi Theta in 1928. It was the fifth sorority to be chartered at Whitman College during a very active period in Greek Life. Alpha Chi Omega shut down in 1983 after many years of dwindling pledge numbers. Their former chapter room later hosted the Whitman chapter of Alpha Phi.
The collection consists of articles, publications, records, memorabilia, correspondence, membership lists, and photographs related to the Whitman Chapter of Alpha Chi Omega.
