Alpha Chi's 100 Years of History

---

Alpha 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; Love, Loyalty, Justice and Leadership. ​
