Region 15 at Convention     

     Delta Zeta is one of the sororities with the largest number of college chapters. Our 165 chapters are distributed from coast to coast while our 250 alumnae chapters offer continuing association in 50 states, including Hawaii, Alaska, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

     Delta Zeta was founded on October 24, 1902 by these six women: Julia Bishop, Anne Simmons, Anna Keen, Alfa Llyod, Mabelle Minton, and Mary Collins. It is the first national sorority at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio.

A Legacy That Lasts...

     Support of the Delta Zeta National Historical Museum through the Foundation makes it possible to bring together the important documents, significant material, and special mementos that are Delta Zeta's rich heritage. Housed in a renovated Victorian House with a spacious new addition, it is the home and center of activity for Delta Zeta Headquarters, the Foundation, and the museum.

Headquarters:

The sorority colors are rose and green. The flower is the pink Killarney rose. The sorority emblem is the Roman lamp. Its official jewel is the diamond. Delta Zeta has a national loan fund and many scholarships to aid members who may need financial assistance to finish their education. Delta Zeta's quarterly magazine, THE LAMP OF DELTA ZETA, is sent to all members. Delta Zeta college chapters receive supervision from national officers, regional directors, and local alumnae advisory boards. The unofficial mascot of Delta Zeta is the turtle. The mascot is a tribute to one of the national presidents from the 1960's.

Turtle Motto: "Behold the turtle, he only makes progress when he sticks his neck out."

     Locally, we are the Lambda Psi Chapter at Columbus State University. We were founded in 1975 then reorganized in 1994. Our CCD was one of the ladies who helped reorganize our chapter, and some of our initiates' mothers founded Lambda Psi in 1975. In the past, our chapter has been part of region 15 with GA, FL, and AL. Now the region was split up, and Lambda Psi is part of region 17 with South Carolina. In our region are many sisters who unite as one region for much help and many weekend celebrations. We are the oldest Panhellenic sorority on CSU's campus, so we are proud of the tons of memories we have made!
