Gamma Phi Beta was first a women's fraternity, like I posted earlier, it wasn't until the installation of the Beta chapter, that the word "sorority" was coined. Women's Greek letter organizations after 1882 had the option of calling themselves women's fraternities or sororities. Gamma Phi Beta is known now as a sorority, but it took eight years for the word to come into usage.
