On April 11th the Alpha Chapter of Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. was founded by Geeta Nadia Kapur, Natalie Nicole Barker, Peggy Virginia Long, Melissa Jo Murchison-Blake, Brenda Imade Eribo, Katherine Ellen Stanley, and Janelle Kalia Poe on the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill.

 

Theta Nu Xi was officially incorporated on April 29, 1999 through the collaborative efforts of the Alpha Chapter, and the Beta and Gamma colonies.

​

By 2000, many of the Sorority’s earliest members were beginning the transition into post-collegiate life, carrying with them the lifelong commitment they made to uphold the mission of Theta Nu Xi. Alumni who had organized in New York City, Greensboro, NC, and Washington, D.C., began working on creating a structure that would allow them full participation in Sorority activities, as well as membership opportunities for other post-collegiate womxn. At the National Convention in 2001, a formal structure for Graduate, Alumnae, and Professional (GAP) membership was adopted. And the following year, the first GAP chapters were established, making Theta Nu Xi the first multicultural sorority to offer membership to post-collegiate womxn.
