These are the earliest dates that I can find. Early history is a little dicey as some of those groups were probably literary societies more than they were secret sororities. I'll not split hairs and give them the benefit of the doubt. It is interesting that several sororities have chapters whose roots are earlier than that of the national.

Anyone with additions or corrections?
You threw me with this - so much that you had me googling, because I've never seen any connection to Alpha Gamma Delta that you have made here.

May 30, 1904 - Syracuse University. Theta Sigma Upsilon did merge with AGD in 1959, but their roots are later than Alpha Gamma Delta's.

Would love to see where you got this information, though.
