Miami Triad

The Miami Triad is a term used to descrive three fraternities that were founded at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. These fraternities, in the order they were founded, are Beta Theta Pi (1839), Phi Delta Theta (1848), and Sigma Chi (1855). Historians of fraternities often compare the significance of the Miami Triad to the "Triad" of fraternities that formed at Union College in the mid 1820s.

Other national greek organizations founded at Miami, in addition to the Triad, are Delta Zeta Sorority, founded in 1902, and Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity, founded in 1906. Because of the number of greek organizations founded at Miami University, the school has come to be known as the "Mother of Fraternities".
