Here are some COOL FACTS about Delta Gamma:
- DG has had one and only one male initiate, George Banta (a Phi Delta Theta)
- DG actually even had a "call"at one point (I read that in our Pledge Manual, Watchwords...it was briefly mentioned and I thought that was kind of interesting!)
- our 3 Founders were essentially teenagers at a Girls School (likely a prep school or so), called The Lewis School, which no longer exists.

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!

You asked so here goes!
You will see that more NPC groups than not, are called "Fraternities", likely because the word "Sorority" did not yet exist when they were founded. Okay...here you have it....

All 26 NPC groups, with their founding dates:
Alpha Chi Omega Fraternity October 15, 1885
Alpha Delta Pi Sorority May 15, 1851
Alpha Epsilon Phi Sorority October 24, 1909
Alpha Gamma Delta Fraternity May 30, 1904
Alpha Omicron Pi Fraternity January 2, 1897
Alpha Phi Fraternity October 10, 1872
Alpha Sigma Alpha Sorority November 15, 1901
Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority November 4, 1899
Alpha Xi Delta Fraternity April 17, 1893
Chi Omega Fraternity April 5, 1895
Delta Delta Delta Fraternity November 25, 1888
Delta Gamma Fraternity December 1873
Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority March 17, 1917
Delta Zeta Sorority October 24, 1902
Gamma Phi Beta Sorority November 11, 1874 - note: the "term" sorority was coined for Gamma Phi Beta, as the word "sorority" did not exist prior to GPhiB's founding, so previous groups just used the word "Fraternity" since the word Fraternity comes from the Greek word "phratria", which means people holding a common interest. But then later on, Fraternity came to also mean frater, as in "brotherhood". But for the women, of course we refer to it in the "phratria" sense, not the "frater" sense!
Kappa Alpha Theta Fraternity January 27, 1870
Kappa Delta Sorority October 23, 1897
Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity March 1870
Phi Mu Fraternity March 4, 1852
Phi Sigma Sigma Fraternity November 2, 1913
Pi Beta Phi Fraternity April 27, 1867
Sigma Delta Tau Fraternity March 25, 1917 (I think..website is a bit unclear and uses both terms, sorority and fraternity)
Sigma Kappa Sorority November 9, 1874
Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority April 20, 1898
Theta Phi Alpha Fraternity August 30, 1912
Zeta Tau Alpha Fraternity October 15, 1898

All dates are from "From Here to Fraternity"...if I did a typo or a mistake, please PM me and I will edit the post! Thanks!
