The Alpha Chapter of
Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, Inc.
OUR HISTORY
As the Almightly Alpha Chapter is the founding chapter of Theta Nu Xi, the National History is the Chapter's history.
Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. was founded at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, by seven diverse women who sought to create an inclusive sisterhood. The Founders chose to transcend traditional boundaries with the creation of a new Greek letter organization that would embody the ideals of scholarship, service, sisterhood, leadership, and multiculturalism.
Despite being met with significant concerns about the viability of such an organization, the Founders held strong to their beliefs and pushed forward in creating the Sorority. Through their commitment and dedication, the dream of founding Theta Nu Xi came to fruition on April 11, 1997.
Since its founding, Theta Nu Xi has rapidly expanded, reaching a diverse group of women via chapters all across the United States.
