Chapter Beginnings

In 1887, a Theta from Alpha Chapter who also happened to be the wife of the president of the University of Southern California helped install Omicron Chapter. It was the first chapter west of the Rockies. An economic downturn forced Omicron to close in 1895, but the chapter returned to USC in 1917.

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.
