Alpha Alpha Chapter (Toronto)

Alpha Alpha Chapter was installed at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Ontario, on October 30, 1919.

The first Canadian chapter of Gamma Phi Beta was originally a local society, the Delta Phi Club, organized in 1913. An inspection visit by Chairman of Expansion Irene Caykendall Garrett (Syracuse, 1915) and Louise Bryan Burgess (Syracuse, 1894) followed a petition from the local group. Twenty-five members were initiated by an initiating team of collegians from Alpha Chapter (Syracuse) and Zeta Chapter (Goucher), thus making Gamma Phi Beta an international sorority.
