Seven young women by the names of Nellie Gamble, Olive Burnett, Bertha Deniston, Bessie Grooms, Estelle Leonard, Amy Dubois, and Anna Allen joined together with the common love of music. From this, they formed our sorority and our heritage. Alpha Chi Omega is so named because it was the first fraternity in the School of Music and was thought to be the last of its kind.
Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet.
Our headquarters is located in Indianapolis, Indiana. With 133 active collegiate chapers and over 160,000 initiated members, Alpha Chi Omega is thriving and growing every day.
