History
Phi Chi Theta was formed by the merger of two competing women's business sororities in 1924. Both Phi Theta Kappa and Phi Kappa Epsilon were founded in 1918, and on June 16, 1924, each of the two organizations sent three delegates to form Phi Chi Theta. These six women became the founders of the fraternity: Mary Stoddard Duggan, Nina Miller, Anna E. Hall, Edna Blake Davis, Alice Wyman Schulze, and Nell McKenry.
