Well said.
In a nutshell, Miami University in Oxford, OH birthed Beta, Phi Delt, Sigma Chi, DZ and PhiTau (in that order). All but Sigma Chi have their headquarters in Oxford as well (Sigma Chi = Evanstan, IL).

Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi are grouped together as the Miami Triad both because they were founded in roughly the same timeframe (1839-55, versus 1906 for Phi Kappa Tau), and because, like the Union Triad, they had a significant influence on the development of the fraternity system in a way that orgs founded much later (20th century) did not.
