I don't have the whole story with me, but here's the short story of Phi Kappa Tau's beginnings. The organization now known as Phi Kappa Tau was founded by four men at Miami (Oxford, OH) on March 17, 1906. It's a little amusing that they originally called their group the "Non-Fraternity Association," to distinguish themselves from the groups that already existed on campus. As they expanded, though, they took on Greek qualities, changing their name to Phrenocon in 1909. In March 1916, amidst what must have been a bit of controversy, Miami chapter withdrew and named itself Phi Kappa Tau. Nine months later, the rest of the organization followed it, reunifying the fraternity as Phi Kappa Tau.
