At Pitt, women weren't accepted until the 1890's, but societies started to spring up within the next ten years. The first one to go NPC was in 1915, and I think it was Pi Beta Phi, which is sadly no longer on campus.

I'm not sure about the other greeks, but ADPi closed their chapter to support the war effort during WWII. The chapter was recolonized immediately afterwards, and yearbooks from that time show as many as 15-16 sororities on campus. Since the 60's, though, there seems to have been a steady 11 sororities at Pitt - not always the same ones, but as one goes off, another colonizes.
