Our History

Theta Eta Epsilon was founded April 8, 1992 on the campus of Howard University, emerging from a collective vision to build a home for leadership, scholarship, and service grounded in the spirit of Black excellence. Established at an institution rich in cultural and historical significance, ΘΗΕ was created to provide a distinct space where members could find strength in unity, purpose, and legacy.

From its inception, Theta Eta Epsilon has been a sanctuary for individuals committed to personal growth and community uplift. The organization quickly distinguished itself through its focus on empowering voices, fostering meaningful connections, and upholding traditions that honor the past while shaping the future.

Over the decades, ΘΗΕ has grown through thoughtful expansion, ceremonies that honor membership and legacy, and consistent engagement across campus and community spaces. Whether through educational initiatives, social impact efforts, or collaborative programming, Theta Eta Epsilon’s presence continues to embody its founding ideals.

Today, the organization remains rooted in its mission to cultivate leaders and changemakers who carry forward the values that shaped its beginning. Always evolving, always grounded, and always committed to excellence; that is the legacy of Theta Eta Epsilon.
