NATIONAL HISTORY
Delta Zeta Sorority was founded at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio in 1902. Miami is called the "Mother of Fraternities" because of the many prominent men's fraternities which were founded there.
​
When six young women came together in 1902 to form a social sorority, they had a vision of lifetime sisterhood fostered by ideals that they cherished. These friends bonded quickly as they faced the challenges of starting a sorority on a male-dominated campus (women had just been given full status as students at Miami University in 1902).

Alfa Lloyd, Mary Collins, Anna Keen, Julia Bishop, Mabelle Minton and Anne Simmons met with Dr. Guy Potter Benton, then president of the university, to make their idea a reality. Delta Zeta became the first sorority to be founded at Miami University. The Founders then went on to lay the foundation for the Sorority which would have a national reach.

Today, Delta Zeta has enriched the lives of over 234,000 alumnae and collegiate members in the United States and Canada. The Delta Zeta Foundation a non-profit organization, makes possible gifts and support for scholarships, leadership, philanthropy, and education that continue to enrich our chapter.
LOCAL HISTORY
The Lambda Lambda Chapter was founded on March 10th, 1977 at The College of New Jersey, formerly known as Trenton State College. Since then, the chapter has grown tremendously, with hundreds of initiated sisters.
Our dedication to being involved on campus is demonstrated by our annual events including Heart for Hearing Week, Mr. DeeZirable and Pink Goes Green Week which intend to bring awareness of our philanthropy to the TCNJ community.
This chapter has proudly won several awards over the past decade including Chapter of the Year in 2012. In July of 2024, our chapter was presented with an award at the Norma Minch Andrisek Leadership Conference at Delta Zeta Headquarters in Oxford, Ohio. The Betty Heusch Agler President's Award is presented to a chapter that has handled an unusual circumstance in an exemplary manner. We are extremely grateful for this award and look forward to continuing to honor the hard work each and every sister before us has put into this chapter!
