Phi Gamma Nu (ΦΓΝ) is a business fraternity in the United States. Currently, Phi Gamma Nu has 18 active collegiate chapters nationwide.

History[]

Phi Gamma Nu was founded on February 17, 1924 at the Chicago campus of Northwestern University. The original founder members were Sylvia Pekar Arnold, Elizabeth Conroy Fleming, Marge McInerney Hawes, Mary Chard Nalbach, Helen Vogel Purcell, and Celeste Weyl.^[1]

Phi Gamma Nu was founded as a sorority for women pursuing studies in business. The sorority spent the next fifty years operating much the same way, but the dynamics of the organization changed to a co-ed format in 1974 due to the Title IX act. While Phi Gamma Nu began accepting male members in 1974, it was not until 1981 that the National Chapter Congress changed the name of Phi Gamma Nu Sorority to Phi Gamma Nu Fraternity to comply with Title IX.^[2]
