Colorado State Chapter - P.E.O. Sisterhood

P.E.O. Sisterhood

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.

The P.E.O. Sisterhood was founded by seven young women on the campus of Iowa Wesleyan College, Mount Pleasant, Iowa, in January 1869.

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.
