History The Delta Zeta sorority was founded at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio in 1902. Six young women came together to form a social sorority with the vision of lifetime sisterhood fostered by the ideals that they cherished. 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. Now today, Delta Zeta has enriched the lives of over 220,000 alumnae and collegiate members in the United States and Canada. The Xi Delta chapter of the Delta Zeta Sorority was founded at Radford University on March 19, 1983 and continues to enrich the lives and promote the bonds of sisterhood to each of its initiates.
