Alpha Omega Epsilon is a professional and social sorority for women in engineering and technical sciences. The Sorority was founded by twenty-seven female engineering students at Marquette University on November 13, 1983, and four months later, on March 22, 1984, became a recognized organization on the Marquette University Campus. The idea of uniting female engineers and technical scientists of all curricula spread to other campuses. As a result, there are currently twenty-one active chapters and two colonies of the Sorority.

The Sisters of Alpha Omega Epsilon promote ideals and objectives that help to further the advancement of female engineers and technical scientists, while at the same time developing bonds of lifelong friendships. Alpha Omega Epsilon strives for scholarship and academic achievement. The Sisters create a friendly, warm atmosphere where integrity, character, and self-confidence can flourish. The Sorority hopes to enlighten female engineers and technical scientists to the career opportunities available to them. Alpha Omega Epsilon encourages ties with other Greek and Engineering Organizations, fosters leadership at the Chapter and International level, and provides networking opportunities for its members.

Founding Members

In the early 1980s there was a national push to interest women in engineering. The female engineering students at Marquette University, including Little Sisters of both Sigma Phi Delta and Triangle Fraternities, started meeting in hopes of forming an organization to increase the number of women in engineering. They decided to form a Sorority, and Alpha Omega Epsilon was founded by 27 female engineering students on November 13, 1983. The first Alpha Chapter candidate class was initiated in the Fall of 1984 which nearly doubled its membership.
