Delta Zeta History and Symbols |

The first year that women were admitted
into Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, 1902, six enterprising young women
joined together in search of sisterhood. With the assistance of Dr. Guy Potter Benton, a Phi Delta
Theta, the women built what would become one of the largest womenÕs organizations
internationally, with 165 chapters in the US, Canada and Great Britain. |
