History

On April 15, 2019, the Alethean Sorority was reestablished on Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø's campus after being inactive for 78 years. The Alethean Sorority was originally active on campus between the years of 1924–1941.

During the Spring 2019 Rush season, it became evident that there was a high interest in Greek life on Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø's campus, however, there was not enough opportunity for women to be involved. This inspired the idea of reestablishing the Alethean Sorority in order to provide more opportunity.

When first established, the Alethean Sorority was based on the values of Truth and Love, represented by the letters Alpha and Phi. While keeping these values in mind, the Alethean Sorority believed that it was important to add another value in honor of the reestablishment: Mentorship, represented by the letter Zeta. This value is near and dear to the heart of Alethean members, as it represents the loving community of women supporting each other in life's journey.

The Alethean Sorority is proud to live life cheerfully while putting good work and service into their community.
