33girl, this answers a question I've had for a long time. My mother graduated from Mary Baldwin with the first of the baby boomer generation, when my school was just "the boys' school down the road". Of course, now my school is co-ed and basically drew off all the best students from the surrounding women's colleges (Hollins, Sweetbriar, Mary Baldwin, Randolph-Macon Women's, etc). Me and my mom have always speculated as to whether Mary Baldwin once had sororities--we knew Randy Mac and Hollins once did because Pi Phi's Virginia Alpha and Virginia Beta were there. So anyway, thanks for answering that question for me indirectly. I'm assuming that Mary Baldwin banned sororities in 1907 or so.
Actually, I have a few friends that go there and are very interested in restarting Greek life. I don't think it will happen, though. Administration and alums are generally opposed to it.
ETA: Basically all Pi Phi chapters are single-letter, since we do the state-naming system. I know that at one time we did the method of just running through the alphabet, but that was long before my chapter colonized. I expect that some older chapters still have that on their charters, however.
