Regarding Alpha Lambda Delta. Mount Saint Mary’s University was founded in 1925 by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet (CSJs), a group of bold visionary educators who sought to establish an institution of higher learning where women could become leaders dedicated to service, justice and knowledge. Rooted in a rich history that dates back to 1650 in Le Puy, France, CSJs have always been trailblazers.
Today, Mount Saint Mary’s is the only women’s university in Los Angeles and one of the most diverse and transformative in the nation. The Mount is recognized nationally for its academic quality, research on gender equity, innovative health and science programs, empowerment of women, leadership development and commitment to social justice.
In 1928, the Sisters purchased 36 acres that stretched among the foothills of the Santa Monica mountains, which would become the Chalon Campus. Today, the Chalon Campus houses most of the University’s traditional undergraduate
