| History |
|
Initially chartered on December 23, 1836 as the Georgia Female College, and opening its doors to students on January 7, 1839, it is one of the oldest institutions of higher education for women in the United States and the first college in the world chartered to grant degrees to women. It was renamed Wesleyan Female College in 1843 and later shortened to the present name Wesleyan College in 1917. It remains an all female college to this day. Wesleyan is also home to the world's oldest alumnae association, begun in 1859. Seniors are inducted into the association during a candle lighting ceremony at Alumnae Weekend.
Wesleyan College was also the birthplace of the first sororities: the Adelphean Society in 1851, now known as Alpha Delta Pi, and the Philomathean Society in 1852, now known as Phi Mu. The school no longer has sororities (1914), and uses a class system. Incoming first years are assigned a class based on the outgoing seniors of the previous school year. The classes are the Green Knights and their sister class the Purple Knights, and the Pirates and their sister class the Golden Hearts. The 2005-2006 seniors are the Purple Knights.
The school colors are deep purple and lavender.
