Syracuse Triad


The Syracuse Triad is the name given to the three women's sororities founded at Syracuse University in the USA. Alpha Phi was founded in 1872 by 10 of the original 20 women admitted into the university. Gamma Phi Beta was founded in 1874 and with it came the term "sorority", which was coined at the time of its founding. Alpha Gamma Delta completed the triad in 1904.
The three sororities maintain a special bond. A special Syracuse Triad ceremony or event is held on most campuses where all three groups are present. An example of common events are a Triad Tea or a Triad Dance.
