Our Legacy, Our Future

Theta’s founders—Bettie Locke, Alice Allen, Hannah Fitch, and Bettie Tipton—were trailblazers. As some of the first women admitted to Indiana Asbury College (now DePauw University), they faced resistance, criticism, and exclusion—from classmates, faculty, and the community. But they didn’t back down. Year after year, they pushed forward with strength and resilience.

In creating Kappa Alpha Theta, these four women built more than just the first Greek-letter fraternity for women—they created a space for connection, growth, and empowerment. A place where women could support each other and strive for something bigger than themselves.

Today, we—the members of the Eta Eta Chapter—are proud to carry that legacy forward.

We’re athletes, artists, coders, leaders, performers, and scholars. We dream big, take action, and show up for each other—and for our campus community.
