Founded in 1928, the Beta Zeta Chapter of Alpha Phi has been a defining part of Greek life at the University of Idaho for nearly a century. From its earliest days, the women who established the chapter envisioned a community that would reflect the core values of Alpha Phi: sisterhood, character, innovation, and generosity. Over the decades, that vision has not only endured but has grown into one of the strongest and most respected sorority legacies on campus, deeply rooted in the pride and tradition of the University of Idaho Vandals.

 

At the heart of this legacy stands the Alpha Phi chapter house at 604 Elm Street in Moscow. More than simply a residence, the home represents generations of leadership, friendship, and Vandal spirit. Built in 1923, the house remains one of the most iconic and cherished Greek homes at the University of Idaho.

For more than a century, its doors have welcomed Beta Zeta sisters as they pursued academic excellence, campus involvement, and meaningful contributions to the broader community.

 

Today, the Beta Zeta Chapter continues to thrive with nearly 90 active members, including approximately 58 women who live in the chapter house each year. Within its historic walls, the traditions of Alpha Phi and the pride of the University of Idaho continue to shape a vibrant community where young women grow as scholars, leaders, and lifelong members of a sisterhood that has stood strong for generations.
