AΩE is a professional and social sorority that promotes women in engineering and technical sciences founded November 13, 1983. Our chapter welcomes women from all S.T.E.M majors to join our sisterhood and stay connected with us after they become alumni.
The Beta Kappa chapter at UNC Charlotte was founded on January 26, 2013. We promote ideals and objectives that strive to change the participation of females in the Engineering & Technical Sciences career fields while creating lifelong bonds.

Awards
2024-25 Outstanding Small Chapter
Presented by the International Executive Board
The Outstanding Small Chapter award is given each year by the International Executive Board of ΑΩΕ to honor a smaller chapter that stands out through dedication and impact. Last year, our chapter showed incredible leadership and commitment by hosting meaningful philanthropy events, offering valuable professional development, and building a strong, supportive sisterhood.
2024-25 Excellence in Professionalism
Presented by the International Executive Board
The Excellence in Professionalism award is presented annually by the International Executive Board of ΑΩΕ. Some of our notable professional events last year included an elevator pitch workshop, resume swap night, presentations on accessibility in the workforce, financial literacy, and AI, and a LinkedIn workshop. We also organized a fashion show focused on workplace attire. These activities demonstrate our commitment to preparing sisters for success in their careers.
2022-23 Director's Award
Presented by the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life.
The UNC Charlotte OFSL Director's Award is awarded to one chapter in each council by a staff member in the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life. The chapters that receive this award exemplify the spirit of what it means to be a well rounded chapter, doing the right things for it's members and for the community. This award is not based on Gold Standard Program assessment. It is based on what the OFSL staff sees, hears and experiences in advising the chapter.
Our Involvement
Community Involvement
We are committed to giving back to our community through regular volunteer work at local food pantries, including Jamil’s Student Pantry, where we help address food insecurity among students and families in need. We also support local FIRST Robotics teams by mentoring and uplifting young women in STEM, encouraging the next generation of innovators to pursue their passions with confidence.
Philanthropy
We proudly support and advocate for St. Baldrick’s, raising funds and awareness for childhood cancer research through ongoing involvement and service. Our chapter is also a dedicated supporter of FIRST Robotics, with many of our sisters being alumnae of teams across North Carolina. Through mentorship and outreach, we continue to empower young students, especially girls, to pursue their interests in STEM.
Social
Our social events are all about building strong sisterhood and celebrating the diverse interests and cultures within our chapter. We host sisterhood bonding activities, take part in Greek mixers, and collaborate on events with organizations like Girls Who Code and the Society of Women Engineers. From fun gatherings to meaningful partnerships, there's always something happening that brings us closer together.
Career Development
We actively collaborate with local STEM companies and recruiters to build a strong professional presence and sharpen career skills. Through our diverse alumnae network and active LinkedIn page, sisters gain valuable connections, insights, and mentorship across a wide range of industries. We also hold mock interviews with alumnae and professionals to help members feel confident and prepared for internships and life after
