I will admit...that was new news to me. (AKA at Butler in 1920)

So was AKA the first ACTIVE on a non-HBCU campus. Quite natually, that question is directed to AKA and DST.

Thanks for the response and yes, I understand that my sorority (and all others) were founded only once, but I was looking for clarification on the distinction of being the first African-American sorority on Butler's campus. To my knowledge Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. was/is the ONLY Af-Am sorority FOUNDED there, but from my own history, I don't believe they were the first sorority ACTIVE there. My question was directed to the ladies of SGRho to enlighten me about this. Perhaps the "first at Butler" distinction goes to SGRho because the AKA Kappa chapter was a citywide one; I don't know, but would be interested in this little history tidbit ("see Ma, that history degree IS going to good use!").
