At least two other college fraternities had substantial ties with Masons:
Square and Compass
and
Sigma Mu Sigma
A brief history of Sigma Mu Sigma can be seen at:
http://gwired.gwu.edu/sac/greek/history/SigmaMuSigma/
and that ^ history mentions Square and Compass more or less in passing.
Square and Compass and Sigma Mu Sigma have not survived as college social fraternities.
Wasn't there also a college social fraternity for members of DeMolay? (It either became extinct or merged into another fraternity, and I don't recall its name.)
Edited to answer my own question:
The fraternity for DeMolays was Delta Sigma Lambda, founded in 1921. The Depression was not kind to it, either, and in 1937 the chapters at Purdue and Montana, with their alumni, were absorbed into Theta Chi. Earlier the Nebraska chapter had joined Phi Gamma Delta, later the Rensselaer chapter joined Lambda Chi Alpha. A couple of other chapters became locals.
