Hey Local GLO's...When were you founded???

[soror6]

Greetings all sorors, sisterfriends, visitors, and brothers! I was wondering if you would mind leaving some info about your organizations' founding day and date!

[prdlocal]

If I can ask a related question...

My local service sorority used to be a little sister organization of a national frat. When the little sisters were disbanded on the national level, our girls decided to form a new group. We always celebrate our founder's day based on when the little sisters were disbanded. We're nearing our ten year anniversary, and we're not sure if we should celebrate 10 years from when the little sisters were disbanded, or 10 years from when we received our charter from the university recognizing us as an official org.

So what do other organizations consider their founding date?

Hey Pbear...do you go to Truman (and in TLS?)
I know that for us, Sigma Chi Delta, we have two dates...the one that we call Founders Day which is when we declared our letters (April 14, 1991). The other is when the CAOC gave us our charter, which was on May 12, 1991. We don't celebrate this, but we try to have our formal as close to the date as Founders Day as possible. I hope this helps!

You know what, this has officially gotten on my nerves. I'm a Gamma Phi Beta from UW-Platteville and I did summer session at Whitewater this summer. You aren't the oldest sorority in Wisconsin - we are. We were founded in November of 1867, the year after our college was founded, and have been going strong ever since, we just went national along the way. :)

[sugar and spice]

Not to mention there have been sororities at UW-Madison since 1875.

And it's not even Wisconsin's oldest local sorority, as Beloit College's Theta Pi Gamma was founded in 1896. Of course, they weren't recognized by the university until 1908, but they were still founded earlier.

I have a feeling that this may be one of those "firsts" with lots of modifiers, like, "We're the first local sorority in Wisconsin that has stayed local throughout its entire existence."

Still, 105 years is an awfully long time for any sorority, and should be congratulated.

prdlocal -- your sorority and my chapter were founded in the same year. :) 1898 represent.

Remember, you are never a former member of your sorority unless you disaffiliated completely. Local or national, you are still a sister of AGG!

Very true! Those girls will forever be my friends and *sisters* :)

[COLOR=royalblue] hey- well nu sigma chi was founded in november of 1928- and our house was built the next year- we just celebrated our seventy-fifth aniversary! We started to die out- but two pledge classes combined provided 16 n.m's and we're hopefully on our way to big numbers again:)

[utdmoog06]

This local girl founded the local sorority known as Alpha Lambda Chi at the University of Texas at Dallas on February 8th 2003. So we're just babies. But we already have a constitution, bylaws, creed, coat of arms, our first rush, (so there's an alpha and beta class), and excellent ties with Panhellenic. We want to go national very soon. So here's to Alpha Lambda Chi THE TRUE REPRESENTATION OF A WOMAN!

[tunatartare]

Congrats and best wishes to you!!!

Phi Nu was founded on December 8, 1853. We are in planning for our 150th anniversary!!!

[AXWhoah]

Damn, 150years! Why did you never go natioanl or join one?

[PhiNuBlue]

I don't know why we didn't go national. We are doing just fine being local. It's been mentioned. There's just so much history tied into our school though. I'm not sure more chapters would be quite the same.

[Sister Havana]

I am a founding member of Lambda Omega Pi (http://www.geocities.com/lambdaomegapi), a coed fraternity. We were founded April 20, 2001. We're small but tight-knit. :)

Zeta Chi Phi founded Jan. 30, 2003.

[NonCompisMentis]

Non Compis Mentis (or Not of Sound Mind) was founded on October 23rd, 1970 at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida when we broke away from our national ties with Pi Beta Phi! Now 33 years later, the Pi Phi's are long since gone and NCM is still standing proud!

Pi Kappa Alpha was founded at the University of Virginia, March 1st 1868. The Epsilon Omega Chapter of East Central University, in Ada, Oklahoma was founded in 1963. I was a founding father of the Lambda Iota chapter at the University of Central Oklahoma, in Edmond Oklahoma. It was chartered on April 13th 2002. A very exciting day that will always be special to me. I love this fraternity. which i am sure you feel the same towards yours. good luck greeks in all that you do.

[Gammawolf]

Delta Zeta Xi Sorority, August 27th 2003 on the campus of Armstrong Atlantic State University.The First and Only Mulitcultural Sorority founded in Savannah, GA. I would say in GA but I don't know for sure and I don't want to step on toes...

[Persuasion]

Phi Gamma Theta is the first established multicultural sorority in the West Coast! Purple Black & White...Thats right.

[chideltjen]

I'm kinda sad. yes we were founded in Fall of 1990 but we don't know the founding DATE. It seems like a majority at least have that on record. But for as long as I have been a chi delt, no one knows the exact date. Do you think the student activities office would have records that go back that far? I don't think our alumna would remember that far back. :(

Do you have a list of your alumnae? Do you ever do mailings like an alumnae newsletter? If you do, then your best bet is to put something asking about it in there because some of the older girls or the founders would know. The school might not have this on file, because it would have the date when Chi Delta was chartered as a club at your school, not the date that it was founded, which are two different dates. Hope this helps. Good luck on finding it out!

[Logistix3_7]
