#notablesororitywomen ALL IN ONE PLACE

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED FOR YEARS. USE THE SEARCH BAR USING THE NAME OF YOUR ORGANIZATION IN ” ” AND #WHM TO FIND ADDITIONAL POSTS.

For the past few years, during Women’s History Month, I written posts about one notable woman from each NPC and NPHC group. I’ve collected those posts here and grouped them by organization. I try to write a Founders’ Day post for all groups, too, and sometimes I write about outstanding alumnae. Those posts are included below. Please note this is not a definitive group of notable alumnae, it only includes the ones I’ve written about in blog posts. #WHM #notablesororitywomen
