Chapter Beginnings
Sappho Society, the oldest local group at San Jose State College, became Gamma Xi Chapter, the fourth Theta chapter to be installed in 1947. Inspired by the determination of a Phi Chapter alumna and professor of history at the college, alumnae in San Jose, Palo Alto, and surrounding areas worked hard to bring Kappa Alpha Theta to the campus. Theta was one of the first four NPC groups to be installed simultaneously. Gamma Xi Chapter left the campus in 1975.
Notable Thetas
From the very beginning, Theta alumnae have distinguished themselves in their careers and their volunteer endeavors. In fact, some are so well-known that they’re household names, and many have the distinction of being the first women in their professional fields. The archives takes this opportunity to recognize some of our more notable sisters.
