Theta Nu Xi was the first multicultural sorority in the southeastern United States. In the spring of 1996, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Founding Monarch Melissa Jo Murchison - Blake, recruited six other women to found Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority. They envisioned a sisterhood that embraced cultural differences. Despite opposition, the Founding Monarchs built the foundation for Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, which was officially recognized as the Alpha Chapter on April 11, 1997 and incorporated on April 29, 1999. On August 21, 1999, the national organization was founded at the first annual National Convention.
