Alpha Iota (ΑΙ) is a national collegiate professional sorority for women in the field of business. It was established in 1925 at the American Institute of Business in Des Moines, Iowa.

History[edit]

Alpha Iota was founded on October 21, 1925, by Elsie M. Fenton at the American Institute of Business in Des Moines, Iowa.[1][2] Fenton's goal was to promote friendship among the students of that school. Membership requirements are: Every girl must be a high school graduate or have had an equivalent education before entering this school, must be doing superior work as a student, and must be of good character and personality.[3]

The Creed of Alpha Iota is:

The purpose of Alpha Iota is to make each member a better businesswoman through the development of self-confidence, leadership, and awareness of responsibility to herself and her community. A spirit of loyalty, friendship, participation, and education, is fostered among all members.[3]

On April 11, 1930, Alpha Iota was incorporated under the laws of the State of Iowa as a non-profit organization with the right to grant charters and establish chapters throughout the United States and Canada. The sorority established 28 chapters that same year.[4] Its first national convention was held in 1930.[5] Fenton served as the sorority's first national president.[1][6] The first alumnae chapter of Alpha Iota was organized on May 28, 1930.

The sorority held its second national convention in Des Moines on November 18, 1931.[7] One of the sorority's early traditions was selecting a member who represented the "ideal secretary" at the convention.[5][8] Later, the award winner was called the "Ideal Girl".[9] A 1932 issue of the Journal of Business Education notes that the organization already had over sixty chapters.[10] By 1932, it had over 4,000 members, growing to 8,000 by 1936.[3] The society reached 10,000 members on June 19, 1937.[11] In 1940, it had grown to 155 collegiate chaptes and more than 45 alumnae chapters.[12]

A review of the schools that hosted chapters shows that the initial focus of the sorority was secretarial or stenography schools, but was expanded during the Great Depression and World War II era with chapters at teachers colleges and full universities. The sorority's focus shifted with the expansion of opportunities for women in business.

After a period of quick growth, the sorority's membership dwindled in the postwar period. A significant driver of this trend was the closure of many early business schools as junior, technical, and four-year colleges displaced them. For its 50th anniversary conclave held in Washington, D.C. in 1975, there were 140 active chapters in the United States and Canada .[13] It had initiated 62,000 members.[14] At that conclave, Fenton stepped down as the organization's president, having served in this capacity since the sorority went national.[15] She was replaced by Laura Tallone.[16]

Today, the sorority is divided into five districts, composed mostly of alumnae chapters, with groups throughout the United States and Canada. It was recognized by the National Association and Council of Business Colleges.[17]

Alpha Iota badge allows chapter guards and optional center stones

Symbols and traditions[edit]

The sorority's badge is a square shield with an Elizabethan, three-lobed base and an eared, twice-engrailed top. At the sides and bottom, it has a wide gold border. The center is a field of black enamel, divided into three, two uppermost, with the Greek letters Α and Ι, italicized in gold, each standing alone in the two uppermost fields. Surmounting the shield are seven seed pearls, six more of which mark the border between the three fields, with an emerald, or optionally a ruby (signifying a national role?) at the center. The lower field bears a cup, in gold. The badge may carry a chapter guard. Alpha Iota also had a gold scholarship key or charm, presented annually to students with the highest grade point average.[18][19][20]

The Alpha Iota coat-of-arms includes these symbols: the sphinx, the rose, the Ionic column, two stars, the open book, and the Roman fasces. At the bottom of the coat-of-arms are the words, Alpha Iota. The sorority's colors are white and royal blue.[21][22] Its flower is the American Beauty Rose.[23] Its open motto is "Study to Show Thyself Approved". Its publication is the Notebook, first published in 1931, now a quarterly publication.[3]

Meetings are ended with a Benediction used by all chapters:

“We thank Thee, Father, for Thy gift of peace,
For love and loyal friends;
We pray that faith and courage may not cease,
Nor patience that transcends
The stress and strain the passing years may bring,
But grant us strength to face
The daily task with eager hearts that sing,
Enfolded in Thy grace.” Amen.[3]

In 1934, the sorority published the song, "The Sweetheart of Alpha Iota", written by Margaret D. O'Connor with music by Mary Alice Mullin.[24] The Alpha Iota ritual includes each member placing a lit candle, symbolizing friendship, on an altar.[23]

Activities[edit]

Alpha Iota holds national and district conventions biennially.[3] It presents The Scholarship Key, an award to the collegiate member with the highest scholastic average at each collegiate chapter.[3]

Heartspring (formerly known as the Institute of Logopedics) in Wichita, Kansas was adopted as the Alpha Iota international service project in 1949.[25][13][26] It continues to be one of the sorority's philanthropy. In 1967, the sorority started Operation Green Thumb, a project to help children with disabilities explore nature and grow plants.[27]

During WWII, the sorority set a goal of raising $1M in war bonds for the purchase of a B-29 Super Fortress bomber. They raised $1,227,161, which paid for both a B-29 ($600,000), a heavy bomber ($250,000), and an additional $377,161 to help rehabilitate those wounded in service. Beta Omicron chapter led this effort.[28]

Membership[edit]

Potential members were recruited based on superior scholarship, leadership, personality, and character.[29] The sororty has two levels of membership—first and second degree. The first degree is earned by active collegiate members, while a second degree is given when a first-degree member transfers to an alumnae chapter.[23]
