Fraternities and Sororities at CC
Colorado College has a long history with fraternities and sororities on campus beginning as early as 1900. Today, two fraternities and two sororities remain active. An average of 12% of students are members of fraternities and sororities annually.
Nearly 18,000 alumni participated in fraternity and sorority life during their years at Colorado College. Sixteen Greek organizations existed on campus over the years. The four active fraternities and sororities provide positive community engagement for students.
Recently, Colorado College welcomed new organizations to campus: Psi Sigma Phi a Multicultural Fraternity, Delta Xi Nu a Multicultural Sorority and a local sorority, Delta Mu. Membership provides students with a meaningful connection to fellow students, alumni, advisors and the community.

Before becoming a chapter of Gamma Phi Beta, Alpha Phi Chapter (Colorado College) was a six-year-old club known as Zetalethian. In 1932, the college administration gave permission for national sororities to enter the campus and Zetalethian was sponsored by a distinguished group of Colorado alumnae, including Lindsey Barbee (Denver, 1897), Lucy Moore Lennox (Denver, 1905) and Louise Robinson Wyatt (Denver, 1916), as well as Flora Dudd Microw (Syracuse). The group was initiated in the Pilgrim Room of Shove Chapel, a gift to the college by the brother of Blanche Shove Palmer (Syracuse, 1878), founder of Gamma Phi Beta endowment fund. Grand President* Millicent Lees Hoffman (Minnesota-Twin Cities, 1906) installed the chapter, assisted by Elizabeth Ann Bosworth and members of Theta Chapter (Denver) and Tau Chapter (Colorado State). The chapter had 24 charter members.
