The sorority organization Zeta Phi Society (ΖΦ) was founded in 1934 at Emory & Henry College. The original Sorority died out around 1940. In 2017, a group of seven women decided to re-found Zeta Phi to give women at Emory & Henry College a new option for a sorority organization. The local Sorority has made history in a matter of years, notably by being the first Greek Letter group at Emory & Henry College to extend letters to Brothers in the National Fraternity organization, Kappa Sigma in the Omikron Chapter starting in 2019.
Founding in 1934
Not much is known about Zeta Phi's original founding. All members of the original founding have since passed, leaving only trace evidence of their existence in Emory & Henry College's yearbook, The Sphynx, and newspaper, The Hilltopper.
The Hilltopper reveals that Zeta Phi was founded by twelve women in late October 1934. After successfully rushing twelve pledge classes, Zeta Phi disappeared. While the exact circumstances are unknown, The Sphynx provides evidence that may suggest that the Sisters in Zeta Phi merged with another local Sorority at Emory & Henry College.
Re-Founding in 2017
In 2017, four women rushed another local Sorority at Emory & Henry College and depledged on account of intense, harmful hazing practices used in their pledging activities. Three other women rushed all Sororities at the College and decided that their expectations and requirements were not acceptable. These two groups of women came together to discuss the idea of re-founding the long-dead Zeta Phi.
The seven women, later referred to as the Sacred Seven, were successful at re-founding the group with one expectation: to stay true to yourself after joining. They felt that the other Sororities on campus expected women to change in order to fit the mold of the Sororities and wanted to create a more modern, uplifting group.
