I'm not saying that we were the first. Just saying you might wanna look into it!

Good luck!
Since I have the book handy, I'll reply:

Sigma Kappa - founded at Colby College, Watervill, Maine, November 9, 1874

Not sure why they were skipped over in the roll call at the beginning of the book. Sorry if I messed up that order, I guess I'm not sure after the first 3...
