What is your fraternity or Sorority's must interesting fact?
 

Hello everyone! What is your favorite or most interesting fact about your Fraternity or sorority? This is a chance for everyone to learn something neat about one another! My favorite fact is we (ZTA) are a fraternity not a sorority this makes us special from the others. By calling ourselves a fraternity makes us stand alone among the other sororities. Thats my fact lets hear yours! ZLAM- UDZETA :D

UDZeta brings up an interesting subject. I've always wondered how many NPC organzizations are actually called "Fraternities" instead of "Sororities." I know that Phi Mu and Chi Omega are also NPC groups that are called "fraternities" -- what are the other ones? Can anyone answer this for me?

Thanks in advance! :)

Alpha Gamma Delta is a Fraternity.:D

Pi Beta Phi is a fraternity.

Alpha Xi Delta is also a fraternity

Delta Phi Epsilon is a sorority. Many female GLO are officially called 'Fraternity' because the word sorority was unheard of at the time of their founding. DPhiE was founded in1917 when the word sorority was commonly used. :)

My interesting fact is that I've been told that 1 out of 10 women are Chi Omegas and that Chi Omega is the second largest women's organization: next to the Girl Scouts!

Yeah!

Hootie:D

I think that you mean one out of ten sorority women are Chi Omegas. :)

Kappa Sigma's only honorary initiate was Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy. That's the most interesting thing I can think of right now.

Collin

Well, while not related to Jeff Davis, I proudly admit that I am related to R E LEE, Andrew Johnson, and of Course W B S Earp!

For Colin!:D

Wyatt Earp is buried in Colton Cal., A johnson is buried in Greenville , Tenn.

Not a damn thing to do with the thread, but was at the House on the Gulf Coast Where J Davis lived after the Confed. lost. Well in his last years! Very unassuming but comfortable!

Alpha Phi is also a Fraternity.

My favorite Phi facts are that in 1886 we became the first women's fraternity in America to build and occupy its own chapter house and that in 1902 we called the inter-sorority meeting that resulted in the formation of the association now known as the National Panhellenic Conference.

Being the die-hard web developer that I am, I think Alpha Phi's most interesting recent fact is...

* In 1995, Alpha Phi became the first National Panhellenic Conference international/national member to have a site on the World Wide Web.

Actually I had heard 1 in 10 women...but you're probably right...as that sounds more correct! LOL! ;)

Something I learned about Phi Mu several months ago is interesting to me...

My brothers share the last name of the man who built the Cannonball House.

My favorite Phi fact:

Syracuse University, founded in 1870, first started allowing women to enroll in 1872. Of the first twenty women to enroll at Syracuse, ten of these women founded Alpha Phi that first semester.
