Formation of Phi Gamma Nu




Phi Gamma Nu was originally founded on February 17, 1924 at the Chicago campus of Northwestern University. Under the leadership of Sylvia Arnold, six devoted women initiated what was to become one of the premier business fraternities in the United States: Phi Gamma Nu.

In 1974, in accordance with Title IX Act of 1974 issued by the United States Congress, Phi Gamma Nu opened its membership as a co-educational fraternity. Since then, Phi Gamma Nu has grown to become a national, influential, and dedicated organization, devoted to professionalism, service, and brotherhood. Today, there are 103 Phi Gamma Nu chapters nationwide.
