The Big Ten Schools provided a fertile ground for the NPC groups in a time before NPC existed. The term "sorority" was coined when Gamma Phi Beta's second chapter at Michigan was founded, so it, too, has Big Ten connections. The University of Illinois was late to the game (in terms of when chapters were founded there), but it became the home to one of the largest fraternity systems. Its Student Life Archive is also a wonderful place to research the history of the Greek letter organizations. Thanks for compiling this list.
