Publisher's Synopsis
The History of Alpha Chi Omega, written by Mabel Harriet Siller and published in 1911, is a comprehensive account of the founding and early years of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority. The book begins with a brief history of the sorority's founding at DePauw University in 1885, and goes on to detail the growth and development of the organization over the following decades. Siller provides extensive information on the sorority's founders, including their backgrounds, personalities, and motivations for starting the organization. She also describes the early years of Alpha Chi Omega, including the challenges the sorority faced in its early days, such as financial difficulties and opposition from other Greek organizations on campus. Throughout the book, Siller emphasizes the importance of Alpha Chi Omega's commitment to scholarship, leadership, and service. She describes the many philanthropic and community service projects undertaken by the sorority, as well as its efforts to promote women's education and empowerment. The History of Alpha Chi Omega is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of women's organizations and the role of sororities in American higher education. It provides a detailed and engaging account of the early years of one of the country's most prominent sororities, and sheds light on the challenges and triumphs of women's organizations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
