Telling the Story of Delta Zeta Online

This spring, the Delta Zeta Foundation announced the launch of the Delta Zeta National Historical Museum and Headquarters Virtual Tour. The online tour brings to life the story of Delta Zeta – the women who have shaped that story from 1902 to the present, the foundation built first in the greater Miami University community, and the tomorrows of the Sorority’s future. Take the tour here.

Delta Zeta is pleased to open our virtual doors on the Sorority’s home, making our story available to anyone with Internet access. The tour fosters a deeper appreciation and respect for Delta Zeta and those who came before us. Understanding our story helps us move forward with a clear vision of purpose and pride into Delta Zeta’s future.

Each year, approximately 1,000 visitors make the journey to Oxford, Ohio, home of Miami University where Delta Zeta was founded in 1902, to tour the beautiful National Historical Museum and Headquarters, where the Sorority’s story is preserved for future generations to cherish and maintain. Our home is a commitment to tomorrow. It is an affirmation of the ideals and principles upon which the Sorority was founded and our belief in their continued value for those yet to come.

The virtual tour is made possible through a generous donation to the Delta Zeta Foundation by Jean Baughman Templeton, Eastern Michigan - Gamma Sigma, 2005 Woman of the Year. Jean dedicates the tour in honor of Norma Minch Andrisek, Baldwin Wallace (OH) - Gamma Alpha, Past National President, and Ruth Weider Patterson, Wittenberg (OH) - Beta Chi, Past Foundation President and Past National Officer, for their steadfast devotion to the preservation and presentation of Delta Zeta's history.

The Virtual Tour is part of Delta Zeta’s ongoing digitalization and preservation efforts of our archives. With the support of the Delta Zeta Foundation and generous donors, this historical initiative continues to move forward.
