Hi! How active are alumnae chapters/members are? (New here)

[blueangel]

I included it because Theta Sigma Phi was mentioned in the list.. which is a professional fraternity for women in Journalism and Communications. It is now more commonly known as The Association for Women in Communication... just as Sigma Delt Chi (which I mentioned) is now more commonly known as The Society for Professional Journalists.

and:


"Description: Records of the Theta Sigma Phi professional fraternity for women in Journalism and Communications. In 1972 Theta Sigma Phi became Women in Communications. Includes certificates and awards, handbooks, publications, minutes, programs, reports,..."

and

"What became known as the Beta Alpha Chapter of Theta Sigma Phi was established at the University of North Dakota in 1921. The group was originally known as Matrix until 1946, when the group joined Theta Sigma Phi. The organization is a national honorary society for women in journalism and communications. The objectives of Theta Sigma Phi were five-fold: to work for a free and responsible press; to unite women in all fields of communication; to recognize achievements of women in journalism; to maintain high professional standards; and to encourage members to greater individual effort.

In 1972, the national organization was renamed Women in Communications, Inc"

I think that it's a different Theta Sigma Phi. The one on the list says its purpose is to educate disabled students and doesn't say anything about journalism/communications.

I think there's a separate list out there somewhere of professional organizations with greek letters. The ones on that list, and that are pertinent to this thread, are general membership type groups.

/sorry to the OP for this hijack.

OK thanks for clearing that up. I'd like to read about the other group... do you have a link?

Don't these groups Trademark their name?
