Now, there's an interesting fact about my university. About my chapter... Pi Beta Phi was the first to go national, the first to create a national philanthropy, one of the seven founding groups of the NPC, the first to organize an Alumnae department for post collegians, and the first to establish an AAC (Alumnae Advisory Committee) for each collegiate chapter. Pi Beta Phi The first all women national fraternity, 1867 |

Sorry that I have to correct you. Pi Beta Phi might've been the first for all of those, but Alpha Delta Pi (I hope I got that right) was the first all women's fraternity in 1852, and a few months later Phi Mu Fraternity was formed on March 4. Also, the facts about your chapter are interesting, but this thread is about "famous greeks....or are they?" |
Actually let us not forget that all of you guys that came before Theta were just "secret societies"...
....Theta is the "first greek letter fraternity known among women" Yeah Theta Founders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
