Nels Andrew N. Cleven, a professor of history at the [[University of Arkansas]], played an active role in fraternity and sorority social affairs and became inspired by the structure of those groups to create a society for historical study. Cleven invited students to a meeting to form what was then called the University Historical Society on March 14, 1921, establishing the society on March 17, 1921. In April, the decision was made for the society to be known by the [[Greek alphabet|Greek letters]] Phi Alpha Theta.<ref name=":0" />
