Right. I know that the Kappa Alpha Order wasn't founded until after the civil war. The Kappa Alpha Society is probably the older one.

I posted this somewhere else recently but as far as NPC sororities go:

Alpha Delta Pi was the first sisterhood, in 1850 (founded as Adelphian Society... *I think* (ADPis, help me out!))

Pi Beta Phi was the first women's fraternity, in 1867 (founded as IC Sorosis), founded at Monmouth College, Monmouth Illinois

and Kappa Alpha Theta was the first women's GLO. Not sure of the date on that one. And I think at what is now DePauw University.

And I believe that Alpha Kappa Alpha was the first of the future NPHC sororities, founded at Howard University.
