Little E, your right....I don't think AST was first in anything....

but
I remember learning as a pledge that....
~Kappa Alpha Theta was the first GREEK LETTER society for women
~I.C. Sororsis (Pi Beta Phi) was the first
something for women....and
~Adelphian Society (Alpha Delta Pi) was the first
something for women
Now, I can't remember if PBP was the first organization for women and Adelphian was the first
secret organization for women or what....but there is a difference there.
This actually came up in conversation the other day, so now I have to dig out the manual and find the answer!!! It's bugging me!!!!
