There are a couple of interesting things about that chart.
First, Phi Beta Kappa (which wasn't always an honor society) is included. Second, so is
Theta Nu Epsilon, which has always been a class society, not a fraternity as such.
But the other thing I noticed is Alpha Delta Phi. The badge of Alpha Delta Phi fraternity is not shown on the chart, but if all badges are matched with the fraternity or sorority, there is one diamond badge (other than SAE and Fiji) left over, and I think it's ADPi's badge.
So, that would mean this chart dates from between 1905, when the Adelphian Society went national and changed its name to Alpha Delta Phi, and 1913, when the name was changed again to Alpha Delta Pi. And that would mean that the last whistle shown was/is ADPi's.
ETA: And I see that while I was typing this, honeychile also pointed out the ADPhi = ADPi bit. Guess that means my guess was right.
