In a society where women were discouraged from entering college due to their "insufficient brainpower" and "delicate health," four women from Syracuse University came together to form a society they named Gamma Phi Beta. Now, almost 130 years later, we celebrate the vision and dedication of those women and all that have come since then, who have built Gamma Phi Beta into one of the largest and most well-respected sororities in the world. From 4 members in one chapter, Gamma Phi Beta has grown to include more than 120,000 members and 250 collegiate and alumnae chapters worldwide. Through love, dedicated labor, continuous learning, and loyalty to the high ideals the founders envisioned, Gamma Phi Beta has proven to the world that it is founded upon a rock. |
