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 founders were:

Sylvia Pekar Arnold
Elizabeth Conroy Fleming
Marge McInerney Hawes

Mary Chard Nalbach
Helen Vogel Purcell
Celeste Weyl [1][2]

Phi Gamma Nu was established as a sorority for women pursuing studies in business. The sorority spent the next fifty years operating in 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.[1][3]
