Gamma Phi Get-Together
On September 24, 1875, Gamma Phi Beta’s four Founders first met “in the room kindly furnished by Professor Brown,” whose namesake we draw our colors of brown and light brown (mode). To honor the sisterhood experienced that day that has continued for almost 150 years, we invite you to Gamma Phi Get-Together every September.
This year's Gamma Phi Get-Togethers will happen Friday, September 20 – Sunday, September 29, 2024 .

WHAT IS THE GAMMA PHI GET-TOGETHER?
The idea is simple – get with a sister or several and do something fun on or around September 24! As pairs or groups of sisters join together, let’s celebrate the connection we have as Gamma Phi Betas. By coming together, we can show just how far our bond reaches – across collegiate chapter, distance, generations and more.
Looking for an opportunity to reconnect with sisters from college, set up a Zoom call! Do you have a group of sisters you meet up with often? See if they want to gather for a private Gamma Phi Get-Together. As events are registered, they will be added to the section below.
COUNT ME IN FOR 2024! WHAT’S NEXT?
- Select your event date from Friday, September 20 until Sunday, September 29, 2024
- Determine what event type is right
- Register your event when it opens late summer 2024.
- Contact sisters you want to co-host a Gamma Phi Get-Together with.
- Let others know you are hosting an event. We will send you helpful hosting tips, graphics and a big thank you for your participation!
- Have the best time connecting and reconnecting with sisters!
Jump to: Event Ideas | Public vs. Private | Party in a Box | Host Resources
PUBLIC VS. PRIVATE GAMMA PHI GET-TOGETHER?
There are two types of Gamma Phi Get-Togethers – private and public. When registering your event, you will be asked to identify which event type you are hosting. Below are a few examples for each type.
Public Event
- Promoted through the International Headquarters website, social media, and email.
- Ideal for alumnae chapters who hope to engage all locale alumnae members through a fun fall alumnae chapter recruitment event.
- Great for alumnae of a specific collegiate chapter who want to host a chapter-wide reunion.
- Members who don’t live near an active alumnae chapter and want to make new friends!
- Terrific for local volunteers of Advisory or AHC boards who find themselves saying, “We could use additional support on the board.”
Private Event
- Registered with International Headquarters but not promoted publicly.
- Great for collegiate chapter new member classes to reconnect – in-person or virtual.
- Ideal for established groups such as volunteer teams to get to know each other outside the “norms” of volunteering – in-person or virtual.
- Previous Collegiate Leadership Consultants looking for a way to connect in the fall – in-person or virtual.
- Ideal for close friend groups of alumnae members who want to celebrate together – in-person or virtual.
Event Ideas
Don’t know what to do for your Gamma Phi Get-Together? Use this list to start planning!

- Trivia night at a local restaurant
- Museum tour at a new exhibit in town
