Question: NPC Sorority Firsts?
As a member of Alpha Delta Pi, I know that we're the "first and finest" in terms of founding as an individual organization: we were founded in 1851 as the Adelphean Society. However, we only opened Beta, Gamma, and Delta chapters in 1905-1906ish. I believe that our Delta chapter may be the longest continually open chapter, since I have no idea if they were ever closed and recolonized (don't think so).
I'm curious as to which NPC organizations were the first in these areas:
* Which NPC org (or precursor to an org) was the first to "go national"? Where did they start, where did they expand, and when?
* Which NPC org has the oldest continuous chapter? How many still have Alpha chapters around?
* Any info on non-NPC groups that went national earlier than the NPC orgs, but folded or merged?
Yeah, I could look on 26 sorority websites to find most of the answers, but I figure it may have been discussed before. And besides, it's more fun to hear y'all comment on all of the neat historical tidbits!
