Pi Lambda Sigma (ΠΛΣ) was an American collegiate sorority for Catholic women.〔(Templar 1935 ) p 236 "The organization admits only Catholic girls from any undergraduate school"〕 Pi Lambda Sigma merged with Theta Phi Alpha in 1952.〔 ==History== Pi Lambda Sigma was founded on June 24, 1921 at Boston University College of Liberal Arts, in Boston, Massachusetts, by women who felt that their need for close relationships and social life could best be fulfilled by a sorority.〔 As commuters, they felt that they had little or no chance to form lasting friendships that would draw them back to their university after graduation.〔(University of New Hampshire - Granite Yearbook (Durham, NH)- Class of 1943 ) page 130〕 Pi Lambda Sigma was originally going to be a non-sectarian sorority.〔 The Founders, after further consideration, decided that the needs of Catholic women students required a Catholic sorority.〔 The Founders were: *Constance Bartholomew *Mary O’Shaughnessey Brennan *Lauretta Nally Cushing *Anne Donohue *Viola Mac-Eachern Horrigan *Mary Lyons Laffoley *Margaret McDermott *Teresa Talamini, and *Helen Wilson.〔 In 1923-1924, the chapter joined the National Pan-Hellenic Society of Boston University.〔(University of New Hampshire - Granite Yearbook (Durham, NH)- Class of 1947 ) page 188〕 On June 28, 1952 Theta Phi Alpha agreed to a merger, with the four active chapters of Pi Lambda Sigma becoming part of Theta Phi Alpha. Two of the chapters merged with the Theta Phi chapters on their respective campuses and two became new chapters of Theta Phi Alpha. 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 Lambda Sigma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
