Mary Ellen O’Brien (right), President of the Women’s Athletic Association, 1933

The Women’s Athletic Association was formed in October 1927 to promote athletic participation among DePaul’s female students. Some of the first women’s teams organized were the golf, swimming, and basketball team (commonly known on campus as the “Co-Ed Cagers”). The group existed until at least 1968.
