Pi Alpha Tau (ΠΑΤ) sorority was an international collegiate organization operating in the United States between, approximately, 1917 and 1950. The sorority was for Jewish women (Sanua, p. 14 & p. 317). An unrelated co-ed collegiate organization of the same name operated at the University of Illinois at Chicago from 1966 through about 1990. 〔Hunter college alumni〕 == History == The exact founding date of the sorority is uncertain. The Oracle of Adelphi College (1937) gave the date as 1917; Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities (1940) claimed 1918; a handwritten summary of the sorority, written by national president Harriet Brown, stated 1919. Nevertheless, Pi Alpha Tau grew slowly and steadily as a national organization. According to the 1937 Oracle, a group of girls created a new sorority on the Hunter College campus. "Sorority life was so congenial and agreeable to these modern pioneers that their associates in other college were encouraged to follow the Greek letter path." PAT established chapters at schools in the New York City metropolitan area, as well as Cincinnati and Madison, Wisconsin. The Delta chapter was established at Saint Lawrence University in Canada. By 1950, Pi Alpha Tau ceased to exist. Circumstances of the dissolution are not known. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pi Alpha Tau」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
