Welcome!
Colorado State Chapter was organized on January 23, 1903, in Denver, as the fourth state chapter in our Sisterhood. The eight founding chapters soon grew to eleven that same year. Colorado currently has more than 240 active chapters and is home to over 11,000 active members.
The P.E.O. Sisterhood was founded by seven young women on the campus of Iowa Wesleyan College, Mount Pleasant, Iowa, in January 1869. From that modest beginning, P.E.O. has become international in its membership and scope of projects. P.E.O. is a philanthropic educational organization for women built upon service and philanthropy as an outgrowth of its social bonds of love and friendship. As a non-profit corporation, its primary focus is upon providing educational opportunities for women through its international and state projects.
For additional information about official P.E.O. projects, including Cottey College, please follow the International Website link.
