Sorority Women on the U.S. Supreme Court

In June 2023, Ketanji Brown Jackson became an honorary initiate of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. She became the third sorority woman to be a U.S. Supreme Court Justice.

Amy Comey Barrett, an initiate of the Kappa Delta chapter at Rhodes College, was the second sorority woman appointed to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Barrett, a member of Phi Beta Kappa, graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. in English. She is a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, Mortar Board and is in the Rhodes Student Hall of Fame.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an Alpha Epsilon Phi, was the first sorority woman to serve in that capacity. Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman Justice, was not a sorority woman, although many think she was.

I am reminded of the quote from a post which was highlighted previously. In 1921, Mary Love Collins, Chi Omega , said All women are lifted up by heights attained by one woman.”
