Zeta Delta Phi was founded on March 13, 2003 by 13 founding sisters. The Chapter's mission statement is " Sisters from the start, forever in our hearts". Zeta Delta Phi is the one of the local social sorority on the West Virginia University campus. The purpose of this organization shall be to promote the bond of friendship, understanding, and the strength to move forward with life. Zeta Delta Phi strives to instill the principles which are essential and rest upon an individual as a member of society. This sorority also promotes scholarship, campus involvement, leadership, responsibility, and philanthropy among the members of this organization.

Zeta Delta Phi hosts a kickball tournament open to all Greek organizations named the "Penguin Invitational" in the spring semester. This year our tentative date is April 18th, 2009. All of our proceeds are donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.  Other community service includes:  Adopt a Street and WVU Relay for Life.
