Loyola University Chicago is a private co-educational religious-affiliated university established in Chicago in 1870 as Saint Ignatius College. St Ignatius College changed its name to Loyola University in 1909, while also adding the Stritch School of Medicine. 1923 saw the affiliation of the Chicago College of Dental Surgery with Loyola University, later to be known as Loyola University School of Dentistry (no longer open). In 1934 West Baden College affiliates itself with Loyola University, later to be known as the Bellarmine School of Theology then the Jesuit School of Theology in Chicago. Loyola University established the School of Nursing in 1935, the first fully accredited collegiate school of nursing in the state of Illinois. Loyola University is anchored at the Lake Shore Campus (on the shore of Lake Michigan) in Rogers Park, the northernmost neighborhood of the city of Chicago. Loyola has developed a ten year master plan that is designed to revitalize the community by adding an updated arts center as well as a retail district called “Loyola Station” near the CTA’s Loyola ‘L’ stop. Loyola University of Chicago has a medical school, the Stritch School of Medicine, and a hospital and medical center associated with them, all located on a campus in Maywood, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago. Loyola’s First Studies Program is one of three in the country, with Fordham University and Saint Louis University housing the other two. Loyola University also provides rigorous religious education for those seeking careers in lay ministry with the Loyola University Pastoral Institute as well as degree opportunities in interdisciplinary Catholic studies. After winning its first round NCAA tournament game on March 11, 1963 against Tennessee Tech, the Loyola Ramblers were scheduled to play in the second round against Mississippi State University, which practiced racial segregation. In one of the closest games of the season, Loyola became the third Jesuit University (Holy Cross won in 1947 and the University of San Francisco won twice in the 1950s) to ever win the NCAA Tournament. He was inspired by the coat-of-arms of St Ignatius of Loyola, from whom Loyola derives its name, which depicts two wolves standing over a kettle. Loyola is also home to the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations (NALFO) co-ed fraternity Alpha Psi Lambda, and sororities Gamma Phi Omega (The first Latina-oriented sorority at loyola) and Sigma Lambda Gamma (the largest Latina-oriented sorority in the U.S.) as well as several co-ed business fraternities such as Alpha Kappa Psi, Delta Sigma Pi, Kappa Psi, and Sigma Tau Delta.
