About Us

Alpha Omega Epsilon is a professional and social sorority for engineering students founded in 1983. The Theta Chapter was founded at the University of Illinois on February 27, 1999, with a candidate class of twelve women. Through devotion and hard work, they built a strong foundation for this chapter to see that the sorority's name and traditions be carried on at the university. Today there are 45 active members, each of us striving to promote friendship, leadership, and professionalism to further the advancement of female engineers, while strengthening the bonds of sisterhood in the process.
