National History
National HistoryIn the spring of 1996, Founding Monarch Melissa Jo Murchison-Blake was in search of sisterhood. She wanted to be part of a family that openly embraced all women and crossed cultural boundaries. As a bi-racial woman, she did not want to choose between historically Caucasian or African-American sororities. Founding Monarch Murchison-Blake felt that if she did choose one, she would be denying half of her heritage. Still wanting to be part of a strong sisterhood, Founding Monarch Murchison-Blake recruited six other women to join hands in her quest to found Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. At first, the Founding Monarchs were discouraged from fulfilling their vision. The Director of Greek Affairs advised them to consider joining an existing organization, expressing his concern that a new Greek organization, based on the principle of multiculturalism, would not survive at UNC-CH. However, the Founding Monarchs believed there was a need for such a sisterhood. Their efforts set the stage for Theta Nu Xi's presence in the Greek, non-Greek, and surrounding communities. After much work and dedication, the Founding Monarchs built the foundation for Theta Nu Xi. Finally, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill officially recognized Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority as the Alpha Chapter on April 11, 1997. With the collaborative efforts of the Founding Monarchs and the Sisters of Spring 1998, the organization grew beyond our expectations. The Sorority incorporated on April 29, 1999, and with the participation of the Alpha Chapter and Beta and Gamma Colonies, the National Organization was founded at the first annual National Convention on August 21, 1999.

Chapter History
Chapter History"In the spring of 2002, Soror Sonia Bhushan, searched for a diverse sisterhood in which women of various backgrounds were able to join hands and encourage the promotion of diversity on their campus and community. After several months of research and follow up, she discovered Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. - that seemed to be a perfect fit for the University of Houston. In the summer of 2002, Soror Sonia Bhushan, along with Soror Lubna Zaidi, Soror Victoria Gonzalez, Soror Norma Molina, and Soror Brenda Quintanilla came together to make the dream of having the first Multicultural Sorority at the University of Houston come true. After much hard work, dedication and their sense of strong collective teamwork, the Omicron Colony of Theta Nu Xi was established at the University of Houston on December 4, 2002. They became one of the founders of the Multicultural Greek Council at the University of Houston. The following semester, the five chapter founders worked very hard to gain chapter status and were recognized as a chapter in the spring of 2003."

Poetry
"The Theta Woman" Poem
Loyal to the cocoon from where she comes,The Theta Woman rises out of a lavender dawnTo proudly bridge the gaps in her worldWith her butterfly wings.With honesty and courageShe lives and loves without conditions.Surrendering to her beauty and power,She gives and receives freely,Remembering her vision, her purpose, her heart.Creator of her own definitionShe inspires those around her to be proud and selfless,To give unselfishly over and over again.Loving herself as she loves others,The butterfly transcends --Taking others with her in her flight.
Poetry
By: Soror Ayodele Carroo © Theta Nu Xi - Spring 1998
