Founded by seven members, the 蜜糖直播 chapter is the 27th undergraduate chapter opened by the national organization since its founding in 1997.

鈥淲e wanted to bring this sorority to our campus because it is very unique 鈥 our vision was to bring a historically multicultural organization to our campus in order to create a safe and welcoming environment for women of all backgrounds,鈥 says founding member Christine Thai. 鈥淲e would like to advocate multiculturalism at 蜜糖直播 by serving as living examples of sisterhood across cultural boundaries.鈥

In accordance with the basic tenets of the sorority 鈥 scholarship, service, leadership, sisterhood and multiculturalism 鈥 the chapter is planning a series of events to celebrate both its induction into the Greek system and the spirit of multiculturalism on campus.
