Alpha Chi Founding Mothers
Our HistoryAlpha Chi, the oldest sorority on campus, was founded by a group of high school girls who united on October 29, 1918. Their purpose was to boost morale of servicemen overseas during WWI by sending them letters, and knitting them socks. Upon entering college, the girls adopted the Greek name, Alpha Chi, which means first in all types of learning and understanding, and continued the overseas correspondence. After the war, the sorority continued at Chico State University, pledging itself to the four principles we maintain today.

Three dedicated Alpha Chi Actives stayed true to the four principles they had pledged themselves to and, with the help of the Alumni, seven women joined to become the Spring 1995 pledge class. Together, these 10 dedicated women are an inspiration to all present, as well as future Alpha Chis, and shall now be known as Refounding Sisters.
