History
(The following information taken from The Golden Years with Pi Kappa Sigma, 1949.)
In 1916, Sigma Sigma Sigma and Alpha Sigma Alpha formed a "panhellenic in education". Invitations were granted to Pi Kappa Sigma and Delta Sigma Epsilon in 1917. At the third national convention, the four sororities changed the name from "Association of Panhellenic Sororities" to "Association of Education Sororities". Per the official meeting minutes, the name change was to "establish definitely professional standing in Hellas".
Three other sororities were admitted to AES membership: Theta Sigma Upsilon (1925), Alpha Sigma Tau (1926), Pi Delta Theta (1931). Pi Delta Theta was eventually absorbed by Delta Sigma Epsilon (p. 476).
Biennial conferences were held regularly from 1917 through 1947.
The AES had local units on campus and in larger cities.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind.”
—Imre Lakatos (1922–1974)
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“As History stands, it is a sort of Chinese Play, without end and without lesson.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
