Chapter Beginnings

In 1892, Kappa Alpha Theta became the first women's fraternity at Stanford University when Phi’s charter was transferred from the University of the Pacific. In 1944, Stanford banished all women's Greek organizations. When the ban was lifted in 1978, Theta returned to Stanford’s Palo Alto campus. As the reestablished University of the Pacific chapter had earlier reclaimed the Phi name, the returning Stanford chapter became Phi deuteron, meaning “Phi the second.”

Notable Thetas

From the very beginning, Theta alumnae have distinguished themselves in their careers and their volunteer endeavors. In fact, some are so well-known that they’re household names, and many have the distinction of being the first women in their professional fields. The archives takes this opportunity to recognize some of our more notable sisters.
