The Four College Conference was an historic association of four of America’s leading and most prestigious women’s colleges. Its members represented the upper echelon of selective liberal arts colleges for women in the Northeastern region and had established themselves as academic powerhouses and the preferred choice for young Brahmin and Knickerbocker women from America’s great political and industrial dynasties. The Conference existed for over a decade from its foundation in 1915 until it was expanded to include several other renowned women-only colleges setting the stage for what would become the Seven Sisters.

The Bi-College Consortium is a formal relationship between Haverford College and Bryn Mawr College that builds upon and cements more than one hundred years of cooperation and collaboration between the two institutions. The two selective liberal arts colleges have a common foundation and an intertwined history which has seen various degrees of coordination between the two, especially when both operated as single-sex institutions (Bryn Mawr remains so). Both colleges have developed reputations as prestigious, highly selective, and academic rigorous institutions and have long-been associated with the upper classes of American society, despite their progressive Quaker ethos, albeit they are amongst the most socially inclusive third-level schools in the United States today.
