Literary societies were once a common feature at Concordia. Alpha Kappa Chi (AKX) was the first all-female literary society at the college. Even as its focus shifted from literary pursuits to social events to charitable activities, AKX provided a way for Concordia women to engage with their campus and their community for over eighty years. Phi Kappa Chi (PKX) was another major women’s society at Concordia College from 1946 to 1969. Although PKX was relatively short-lived, it provides an interesting look at some of the factors that influenced the rise and fall of women’s (and men’s) societies at Concordia.
