alpha chi omega

Alpha Chi Omega (ΑΧΩ) is a sorority founded on October 15 1885. Alpha Chi Omega was formed at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. Professor James Hamilton Howe, Dean of the Music School, invited seven young women from the school to attend a meeting for the purpose of forming a society. Alpha Chi Omegas Founders chose "Alpha" (Α), the first letter of the Greek alphabet, because they were forming the first fraternity in the school of music. Since they thought they might also be founding the last such fraternity, "Omega" (Ω) seemed appropriate. "Kai", meaning "and" was added to form the beginning and the end. "Kai" was soon changed to "Chi" (Χ), a letter of the Greek alphabet. Alpha Chi Omegas colors of scarlet and olive green were chosen to commemorate the sororitys autumn founding.
