Sisterhood at Auburn
In a cozy setting, eight women from Auburn University’s Alpha Xi Delta sorority gather for a photo. Five of them comfortably occupy a couch, while the other three sit gracefully on the floor. They sport blue shirts emblazoned with Greek letters. The photo captures the essence of sorority life at Auburn within a close-knit community.
Auburn University has a rich history, one that initially did not include female students. Founded in 1856 as East Alabama Male College, it was a private liberal arts institution affiliated with the Methodist Church. It wasn’t until 1892 that women were first admitted, transforming Auburn into a diverse educational environment.
