In September, 1872, twenty young women entered Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York, when the institution first opened its doors to women. Attending school in a purely male dominated environment, these women had a need for friends who could sympathize with each others problems and support each others aspirations.
Among these earnest students were six freshman, three sophmores, and a junior whose brave hearts were filled with a noble purpose and whose eyes saw clearly into the future. These were the founders of Alpha Phi. |
