Our History

 

When six young women came together to form a social sorority, they envisioned of lifetime sisterhood fostered by ideals that they cherished. These women bonded quickly as they faced the challenges of starting a sorority on a male-dominated campus, as women had just been given full status as students at Miami University.

 

Meeting with Dr. Guy Potter Benton, then president of the university, to make their idea a reality, they established Delta Zeta Sorority, the first sorority to be founded at Miami University. These founders went on to lay the foundation for this sorority which has enriched the lives of over 247,000 alumnae and collegiate members in the United States and Canada.
