Chapter Beginnings

Rho Chapter was established at the University of Nebraska in 1887. Its members soon occupied the first women’s fraternity house in the state, solving their housing problem by providing for it themselves. In 1891, Rho's charter was voluntarily returned; five years later, in 1896, Rho was reestablished on the Lincoln campus.

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.
