About Eta Xi
Gamma Phi Beta is one of the 10 oldest women's organizations in North America and the first to be called a "sorority".
Our chapter, Eta Xi, was founded in the fall of 2015 on the University of Florida campus. Eta Xi is young, motivated, and ready to create the foundation for future student leaders. Like the waxing moon, you can expect continued growth as the Eta Xi Chapter of Gamma Phi Beta leaves its mark on the Gator Nation.
​
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, 1874
