The Beta Chapter of Delta Tau Delta was established on the Ohio University Campus in 1862 and has been in continuous operation ever since, making it the longest/oldest continuous Chapter in the Fraternity.
However, it was not the first fraternity on the Ohio campus. I believe that honor goes to Beta Theta Pi, although I don't know when they were founded or whether they have operated continuously since then.
