Chi Iota Pi is proud of our steady progression that has taken our organization from 1 undergraduate chapter in 2004 to 5 undergraduate chapters and 1 alumnae/graduate chapter at the present moment. Our history is constantly being written, and we are very thankful to each of our Sisters that has taken the time to undergo our Membership Intake Process, but especially thankful to those Founding Sisters and Chartering Sisters of the chapters and colonies listed below.
Alpha (Α) Chapter - University of Maryland, College Park
Founded Fall 2004
#1 Jessica "Opulent" Martinez
#2 Janina "Valiant Rivera"

#4 Dinora "Daedal" Hernandez
#5 Jacqueline "Adroit" Argueta
#6 Cindy "Ardent" Juarez
#7 Nathalie "Auspicious" Argueta
#8 Jeet "Chic" Bahra
The University of Maryland is a school rich in Greek life. Although Chi Iota Pi makes up only a small percentage of the Greek student population, CIP was recognized in Spring 2010 by the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life as having the best non-Greek program. Chi Iota Pi is a member of the United Greek Council at UMD and is also a MICA (Multicultural Involvement and Community Advocacy) Organization.
Beta (Β) Colony - University of Connecticut
Chartered Spring 2005
#4 Kristen "Sage" Novak
This colony was established after the organization's first migration occurred. Active from 2005 to 2008, the colony is current dormant. We seek quality Women of Leadership to revitalize the colony and establish its' chapter status.
Gamma (Γ) Chapter - Trinity University (Washington, DC)
Chartered Fall 2006
#1 Norma "Ethereal" Carrillo
#2 Janie "Rhapsodic" Pacheco
Gamma Chapter is the only non-historically Black sorority on Trinity's campus. Trinity University does not recognize Greek life on its campus because it is a Catholic Institution. Therefore membership in CIP is open to undergraduates at local universities where Trinity is central to. Gamma Chapter has been in existence since 2006 and has done programming for the Torture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition and the Capital Area Food Bank. Gamma Chapter has also been our most culturally diverse chapter.
Delta (Δ) Colony - University System of Georgia
Chartered Spring 2008
#1 Stephanie "Posh" Juarez
Delta Colony has previously had membership at Dalton State College and Kennesaw University, but is open to women from any of Georgia's four-year colleges & universities. Notable programming includes fundraising for Oprah's Big Give and volunteering at Hamilton Health, a local hospital.
Ε Colony - Salisbury University
Chartered Spring 2009
#1 Patrisha "Laconic" Campbell
#2 Tylisha "Pertinacious" Deshields
#3 Valerie "Deluxe" Folsom
#5 Mikeala "Judicious" Smith
#6 Kellie "Agile" Washington
Epsilon Colony is the youngest of Chi Iota Pi, having been established in the Spring of 2009. It is the only official multicultural sorority present at Salisbury University (as only PHA/IFC Greeks are officially recognized), but Epsilon extends its programming beyond the confines of the university and has done service at local food banks and in the community.

Pi Alpha Chapter provides networking and collaboration opportunities to Alumnae Sisters everywhere. Sisters range from the DC Metropolitan Area to New York, Florida, California and Texas.
