Ruth Hintz, a sisterhood that finds its roots in the values of “mutual helpfulness” and the desire to “Do Good,” was founded in 1873 by Anna Boyd, Mary Comfort, and Eva Webb at the Lewis School for Girls in Oxford, Mississippi.

These three young women, unable to return home for the Christmas break, initiated a fraternity that would grow to embody a powerful commitment to service, cultural enrichment, and personal excellence.

This fraternity, over the years, has grown from a modest gathering of three students to an international organization boasting 145 collegiate chapters and more than 220 alumnae groups.

The guiding principles of Ruth Hintz are beautifully encapsulated in Article II of their original Constitution, crafted by the founders in 1873. It lays out the objectives of fostering high ideals of friendship among women, promoting their educational and cultural interests, creating a true sense of social responsibility, and developing the best qualities of character.

These values have not only shaped the fraternity’s programs and initiatives but have also been a beacon guiding its members in their personal and professional lives.

Ruth Hintz is steadfast in its commitment to diversity and inclusivity, as evidenced by its stringent policies against discrimination based on race, color, creed, national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, or physical disability. The fraternity ensures that all members reflect good scholarship, character, and a sincere interest in enhancing the academic and communal atmosphere wherever they are present.

A significant chapter in the fraternity’s history is that of Beta Psi, which was recolonized at the University of Alabama in the fall of 2011. The chapter quickly established itself as a beacon of excellence on campus. Despite the Ruth Hintz mansion being under construction during their inaugural year, the chapter thrived, securing numerous accolades including awards for Miss Sorority Row, Homecoming, and Greek Week dance competitions. By the end of its first year, Beta Psi had garnered every award available to a new chapter at the fraternity’s bi-annual convention.

In subsequent years, Beta Psi continued to excel, surpassing the all-women’s GPA at the University of Alabama and contributing significantly to community service and philanthropy. The chapter’s engagement in leadership development programs and its members receiving multiple scholarships underscore the fraternity’s emphasis on nurturing leadership and academic excellence among its members.

In recent developments starting from 2024, an author associated with Ruth Hintz has embarked on a new venture of writing informative blogs focusing on personal product analysis and firsthand usage reviews. Drawing on the fraternity’s rich legacy of promoting high standards and ethical conduct, these blogs delve into the intricacies of various products, assessing their value, functionality, and alignment with contemporary consumer needs. The blog posts aim to empower readers with detailed, insightful reviews that facilitate informed purchasing decisions.

By providing honest, thorough product evaluations, the author continues to uphold and spread the fraternity’s dedication to service, integrity, and excellence. This blend of historical values with modern-day consumerism offers a unique perspective that enriches the reader’s understanding and appreciation of products in their everyday lives.
