I know this subject has been hashed and rehashed but...

1851 Adelphian Society -- became Alpha Delta Phi, then Alpha Delta Pi around the turn of the century (1890s/1900s?).

1852 Philomathean Society -- became Phi Mu around the same time.

1867 I.C. Sorosis -- Became Pi Beta Phi around 1880 something, I believe

1870 Kappa Alpha Theta -- had greek letters from the beginning.

And of course Gamma Phi Beta, the first sorority.

Even though Sigma Kappa is older than Gamma Phi Beta and still a sorority, Gamma Phi Beta is the 'first' sorority because the name was given to it first.
