In 1902, Miami University in Oxford, Ohio admitted women to full status as students in University courses.  The newly installed president of Miami University offered his support and assistance to six ambitious women who were interested in forming a sorority, thus giving Miami University its feminine counterpart to the three national fraternities that had been founded there.

Delta Zeta Sorority was founded on October 24, 1902 and by 1920 had enough members to be qualified for the National Panhellenic Conference.  Our founders dedicated their lives to the realization of high ideals they selected as their personal goals and the goals of the sorority.  They made Delta Zeta a vital, growing organization, which has become a strong national sisterhood of over 95,000 young women and 190 chapters representing colleges and universities across the United States.

Founders: Julia Bishop, Anne Simmons, Anna Keen, Alfa Lloyd, Mabelle Minton, Mary Collins

Founded at Virginia Tech: 1971- We were the FIRST sorority on campus!
