In 2007, Rho Psi Eta was founded at the University of California, Santa Barbara by the following founding mothers: Brooke Wangsgard, Kimberly Yang, Linda Leang, Samantha Arigapudi, Tammy Hoang, and Tina Vang.

Rho Psi Eta was founded upon the following three pillars: academic integrity, sisterhood, and community service. We strive to help women pursue their interests and goals in health professions, while fostering a positive college experience.

In 2015, three women from the University of Pittsburgh (Fareedah Haroun, Sierra Struble, and Tyra Satchell) established the first sister chapter with 17 women in its alpha class. Currently, our latest class is the theta class, and we are still growing!
