National History
In the fall of 1902, Miami University in Oxford, Ohio opened its doors to female students for the first time. Three fraternities existed on campus, but no sororities. This motivated six young women to create a social organization of their of their own. On October 24, 1902, these women- Alfa Lloyd, Mary Collins, Anna Keen, Julia Bishop, Mabelle Minton, and Anne Simmons chose to name their new sorority Delta Zeta. The colors of the sororites were to be Old Rose and Nile Green. On October 24, 1902, the Delta Zeta sorority was officially founded-the first sorority at Miami University.
