Gamma Phi Beta International Sorority is one of the 10 oldest women’s organizations in North America.Every member is selected to life membership. This choice of membership does not relate simply to one college campus or community, for every member belongs to the International Sorority and enjoys a member's rights, privileges and responsibilities wherever she may live, study, work or travel. As a member, you have the opportunity to be a part of a sisterhood that has blossomed from Four Founders to over 150,000 members with 116 Collegiate chapters and more than 160 alumnae groups in the United States and Canada.
That's why we welcome you to Gamma Phi Beta, the first women's society to be called a sorority!
With an international membership of over 160,000 members, Gamma Phi Beta International Sorority has 119 collegiate chapters and 171 alumnae groups.

- Moral and ethical integrity in all aspects of life
- Consistent, clear and timely communication
- Our tradition of excellence, history and ritual
- Long term involvement and lifetime commitment
- Active participation and leadership in NPC

- Sisterhood
Delta Phi Epsilon- international sorority...
 In today’s world a woman can be so many things. You can be a friend, be a mother, be a teacher, or even be the president for example. Delta Phi Epsilon encourages each sister to above all else, be true to who you are. The mission of Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority is to develop in women a social consciousness and a commitment to think and act for the greater good. We assure continuous development and achievement for women through individual attention and smart strategic growth. Delta Phi Epsilon was formed... “for the purpose of promoting good fellowship among sorority women... to help... in acquiring knowledge, appreciation, discriminating judgment, and a true feeling of sisterly love through the interaction of sympathetic and friendly natures.” - From the notes of our Founders, 1917 Sisterhood Organizational Knowledge and Skills In order for the sorority to function as a family and have an environment that fosters positive personal and group development, the chapter itself must be strong. Individual sisters must have the skills to manage the affairs of the chapter and lead their fellow sisters. All members must have knowledge of how the sorority operates and what are the expectations are of the members. Sisters must also have an understanding of the Greek system, the benefits of being in a sorority, and the policies relating to Greek life. A strong sorority experience involves mutual friendship, support between members, and activities that increase the bonds of sisterhood. Workshops in this area include: Panhellenic; campus Greek policies; chapter management skills; chapter goal setting; group dynamics; marketing/chapter PR; and officer development. Retreats and sisterhood activities with planned educational programs to increase communication skills and the understanding of sorority values could also be included in this area. (A simple sisterhood dinner would not suffice for a Pearl experience, but may continue to be part of sisterhood activities as often as the chapter likes.) |
