I beleive that ADPi And Phi Mu were the first two "secret societies" for women. Pi Phi is considered the first national women's fraternity. Although we did not adopt greek letters until 1888, we were founded as I.C. Sorosis at Monmouth College in Ill. in 1867 and expanded to Iowa Wesleyan University (1869) and Mt Pleasant Seminary(1869). Therefore we were the first national fraternity for women.
