A Message from the President
Welcome to the Beta Omega chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta at Colorado College! We are so pleased that you are interested in learning more about the dynamic women, history, and events that make our chapter unique. Please take your time to explore our website and the many gems contained within!
In 1870 Bettie Locke, Alice Allen, Bettie Tipton, and Hannah Fitch founded the first chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta at Asbury College in Indiana (now DePauw University). Theta is the oldest Greek-letter Fraternity known among women, a true milestone in the movement for women’s rights. Today, Thetas at Colorado College honor the tenacious history of our founders by perpetuating their ideals of noble womanhood: socially, striving to attain the widest influence for good; intellectually, the highest scholarship; and ethically, upholding the moral code of love.
It is impossible to speak of Theta without mentioning the women who give it life. The members of the Beta Omega chapter are truly remarkable individuals who uphold an impressive reputation as leaders on campus. Aside from their numerous accomplishments within Theta, members excel in a variety of varsity sports, better the community through volunteer organizations and campus clubs, pride themselves on recognition in multiple national honor societies, wow professors with academic prowess in the classroom, engage as global citizens through exploration abroad, impress with their artistic and theatrical skills, and maintain extensive networks of friends both inside and outside of Theta.
Most importantly, Theta means sisterhood. Whether attending formal events, running our campus-wide signature philanthropy event, Kicks for CASA, hitting the books, or getting together to cook, we are frequently found together laughing and supporting one another. Membership manifests itself differently for every woman, but all can speak of the meaningful, life-long friendships they have found within Theta. It is so special to know that Theta is for a lifetime: our bonds will not evaporate come graduation, but rather, we will be ushered into the extensive network of over 250,000 members around the globe, ready and willing to offer a helping hand as we transition to the real world.
I am incredibly excited to see the places 2013 will take our chapter – the possibilities are endless!
Loyally,
Molly Brown
