Perhaps the "history version" was meant to state they were the first "new" BGLO "founded and established" on Butler U's campus.

The truth is AKA was only "founded" once...every other chapter was following the foundation of Alpha chapter...new charters...but not the "Mother Pearl"...as we say at Howard.

I'm confused. I have always heard and read that SGRho was the first African-American sorority at Butler, founded in 1922, yet I know that Kappa chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha was chartered on Butler's campus in February 1920. I know Kappa chapter's charter also included other schools, in addition to Butler. I'm not sure about Delta Sigma Theta and Zeta Phi Beta's beginnings at the school, but I'd be interested in knowing more about the history of African-American sororities at Butler and I hope you can shed some light. Thanks.
