Our Roots

Founded in 1970 as the Southwest Florida Alumnae Club, the Fort Myers Area, Florida, Alumnae Club began as a regional group connecting members across several nearby communities. Early on, it included Naples-area alumnae before that group formed its own club, and both clubs continued to share traditions like Founders’ Day celebrations for many years. The club fostered strong community through social events and helped establish the Alumnae Panhellenic of Lee County. After a period of low membership in the 1980s, it grew again in the 1990s, with members contributing to national initiatives and serving in leadership roles. Renamed in 2014 to better reflect its reach, the club has continued to celebrate milestones, support one another and stay engaged locally and nationally.
