Greek Life at TU: From Beginning to Now BEGINNING Tiffin University was founded in 1888 and the first Greek organizations were established in 1922. The Athenian and Delta were literary societies that included both students and faculty. Their main contribution to the university was their function as social clubs. They held events similar to today’s Greek organizations at Tiffin University such as dances, speakers, and debates. In 1936, two more literary societies were introduced: Alpha and Epsilon Nu Omicron. In 1939, the four were combined into Delta-Alpha and Athenian-Ep Nu. The first official fraternity at Tiffin University was Sigma Omega Sigma established in 1924 and the first sorority was Theta Sigma Chi established a year later. In the 1930s, two more sororities were added: Kappa Delta Phi and Alpha Iota. These first societies established the pledging traditions that persist today. Delta Sigma Kappa was organized in the year 1935 as a secret co-educational honorary fraternity. Requirements for membership in DSK in 1935, as well as today, are scholarship, leadership, personality, and the ability to serve. Its purpose is to work for the betterment of educational facilities at TU and to help students become an active part in many of the school sigma delta sigma organizations and activities, helping to promote better cooperation. Members were given a key and revealed during their senior year. Through the decades, fraternities and sororities have come and gone. Each one has left an impact on those who found acceptance, family, purpose, guidance, and fun while involved in a Greek organization. Now Today, on Tiffin University’s campus, there are seven Greek organizations, four sororities and three fraternities. Men can join Phi Theta Pi, Omega Psi Rho, or Theta Eta Omicron. Women can join Alpha Iota, Gamma Chi Alpha, Sigma Delta Sigma, or Zeta Pi Beta. Phi Theta Pi has been a part of TU since 1950 and is the oldest fraternity on campus.
