Greater Orange County Alumnae Chapter of Gamma Phi Beta Sorority

Members of Gamma Phi Beta Sorority, one of the 10 oldest women's organizations in North America, are proud of our rich and accomplished history, dating back to our founding on November 11, 1874, at Syracuse University in New York. During an era when women were discouraged from attending college, four bold and courageous friends came together to form a women's society. Now, more than 140 years late
