Historical Note

petitioned for membership in the national honor society and in 1923 Phi Upsilon Omicron
officially recognized the Kappa Chapter on the UAC campus. Collection includes material
for both the Home Economics Club and its successor, the Kappa Chapter of Phi Upsilon
Omicron, a national honor society for home economics students founded at Utah
Agricultural College (now Utah State University) in 1924.
