HOWEVER,
The first Greek letter fraternity in the U.S. was Phi Beta Kappa, organized at William and Mary College in Williamsburg, VA, on December 5, 1776.
The first national sorority was called I.C. Sorosis, now Pi Beta Phi, at Monmouth College in Monmouth, IL, in 1867.
The first national sorority to bear a Greek letter name was Kappa Alpha Theta, founded at DePauw University in Greencastle, IN, in 1870.
