What will I find on this site?

Familiar and recently discovered items that may never have been on display. This will include but is not limited to photographs, documents, convention transcripts, newspaper clippings, Lyre issues, jewelry, correspondence, reports and so much more!

What won't I find?

You will not find Lyre issues from within two years prior to the current date. If you are interested in seeing the most recent issues of The Lyre, please contact the Foundation about the Life Loyal Roll.

You also will not find most individual chapter history, including but not limited to chapter officer lists, chapter bylaws, location details for chapter houses, installation history for alumnae chapters, campus award winners, all composites, all newsletters or full chapter rosters. For this information, please contact your chapter directly.

Where is my chapter history?

Each chapter is responsible for tracking its own history. Headquarters only has the initiation article from the Lyre, national award winners and the complete chapter roster. We do receive, on occasion, a composite, newsletter or photos, but the bulk of those items are tracked by the chapter.

Why isn't my chapter composite here?

Headquarters does not have a copy of every composite, from every chapter, from every year. We can only share what we have access to in our files. If you have a copy and would like to send it, please contact us.

How can my chapter add to the collection?

Headquarters is currently looking for the following items from chapters: composites, newsletters, photos, scrapbooks or chapter history publications. For more information on this, please contact us.
