Shorter College briefly had nationals from about 1910-1912. I don't know if the literary societies took their place or predated them but from that time to about 6 years ago, only the literaries-Pi Sigma, Epsilon Sigma, and Delta Tau-were there. As time went on, they got less and less literary and more social and a lot of hazing went on. The college was furious and wanted national groups to come.
About that time, Pi Sigma folded (and boy, that was fast; they were as strong as the others quite recently) and the Deltas became a chapter of Phi Mu. Ep Sig was allowed to stay local but given huge warnings about hazing. Zeta Tau Alpha came to campus maybe 4 years ago.
The local fraternities became Chi Phi and Delta Sigma Phi.
