Our Moto

Founded on a rock.

"Since the rock is the firmest and most enduring substance, able to withstand the ravages of time, and offering the strongest protection, it seemed fitting that Gamma Phi Beta should be thus founded." – Founder E. Adeline Curtis (Syracuse, 1874)

Our Vision

To inspire the highest type of womanhood.

  • Love in Gamma Phi Beta means self-worth and respect for others. Sisters demonstrate this value by encouraging themselves and others to be authentic. Our sisterhood is built through mutual understanding and a commitment to loving each other.

  • Labor in Gamma Phi Beta represents our commitment to service and philanthropy. Through our philanthropic focus of Building Strong Girls and our partnership with Girls on the Run, sisters demonstrate this value by serving others and their community.

  • Learning in Gamma Phi Beta means intellectual growth. From studying together and striving to be life-long learners, sisters demonstrate this value as they succeed both in and out of the classroom.

  • Loyalty in Gamma Phi Beta signifies a lifelong commitment and dedication to out sisterhood. Through college and afterwards, Gamma Phi Beta sisters will be your True and Constant friends.
