About Delta Zeta

Founded on October 24, 1902, at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, Delta Zeta was created by six women determined to build something stronger than circumstance. As the first sorority founded at Miami U, DZ has always been about connection—with each other, with our values, and with our communities.

Delta Zeta women lead with kindness, speak with purpose, and yes—own a surprisingly coordinated wardrobe.

Symbols, Colors & Motto

• Colors: Old Rose and Green – Romantic, grounded, and much more wearable than you’d expect.

Philanthropy That Speaks Volumes

Delta Zeta’s national philanthropy is speech and hearing awareness, supporting organizations like the Starkey Hearing Foundation and the American Society for Deaf Children. Chapters raise funds, volunteer, and advocate for accessibility and understanding in the hearing-impaired community.

Because empowering others to be heard? That’s what leadership sounds like.
