History
Gamma phi betaGamma Phi Beta Sorority was founded in November of 1874 by Helen M. Dodge, Francis E. Haven, E. Adeline Curtis, and Mary A. Bingham. Since its foundation, the sorority has grown to include over 130 collegiate chapters across the United States and Canada.
Our sisters are brought together by our four core values of love, labor, learning, and loyalty, which were established by our founders over 100 years ago, and which we strive to exemplify on campus through our studies, campus involvement, philanthropic efforts, and strong sisterhood. Since 1991, the Epsilon Tau chapter of Gamma Phi Beta has been proud to be a part of the University of Rochester community, and to be home to so many remarkable women. |
