ADPi is the first womens secret society b/c they wern't a greek letter org originally. They were the Adelphean Society (there are still adelphian chapters out ther !) and Phi Mu was the second-the Philanthropian (spell?) society. They bothe got greek letter names later-after pi phi. I believe Pi Phi (If I am wrong let me know) likes to say they are the first GLO for women. That's really just a technicality. The word sorority was coined by a man for Gamma Phi Beta although they are a womens fraternity. Delta Zeta was the first womens GLO to use the name sorority instead of womens fraternity. ADPi is not a womens fraternity though, they are a sorority. They just got greek letters a bit later some of the sororities. I think some one here posted before, but there are really only 6-I think-"sororities" and the rest are womens fraternities. But it doesn't really matter. I mean, I consider them all sororities and I thinkmost others do too.
**these are just the facts as I (think I) remember themfrom pledging...so...long...ago.. I could be off a bit.***
