Identifier: 5054

Abstract

The professional speech fraternity known as Zeta Phi Eta was founded in 1893 at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. The USC chapter was founded by Irene Phillips Kuhl in 1921. (The fraternity was officially named the National Professional Speech Arts and Speech Sciences Fraternity for Women; now it is known as the National Professional Fraternity in Communication Arts and Sciences, the oldest national group of its kind.

The seven boxes in this collection contain the records of the fraternity since its inception in the early 1920s through 1993, when the organization celebrated the fraternity's 100th anniversary. Organized loosely by decade and in their original envelopes and binders, the materials include membership records and rosters, photographs, the organization's newsletter (The Cameo), scrapbooks, newspaper clippings, and institutional materials such as the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
