Weird place for this discussion, but whatever...

Who else was there at Union other than Pi Beta Phi in 1812?
You're right - jumping straight to the first "social" fraternity in 1825 skips a few important groups. Like Pi Beta Phi at Union, Chi Delta Theta at Yale, and the Princeton Chi Phi order. According to Baird, "none of these had a continuing influence or or left any permanent impress upon American college life". I imagine our Chi Phi friends would disagree, as would members of the various class societies that sprung up at Yale shortly after Chi Delta Theta.
