PAGE 1 UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA
O
ur founders created Clovia for women who shared the
same ideals and warm bonds of fraternity and friendship.
Because of these women, Beta of Clovia at the University of
Minnesota is now a group of women from many backgrounds
who participate in community service and campus activities
while striving for high academic achievement.
Our purposes of sincere and enduring sisterhood, promoting
a spirit of sociability, honor, encouragement, and good
scholarship, have guided our members to be outstanding
women with successful and distinguished careers. Not only
are they great women and stewards of the community, but they
are also great sisters who have filled our history with tradition
and accomplishment. The bonds that have been formed within
Beta of Clovia over the last 86 years will last a lifetime.
Many of us trace our time in the chapter back to our first
experiences at the house on Raymond Avenue and now on
Carter Avenue, which has been home to our sisterhood and
the center of undergraduate life for hundreds of women.
While this house has served us well, now is the time to
evaluate our needs to consider providing a safe and modern
facility that matches the caliber of our Clovia sisters today.
