The history of sororities

I'm sure we have all seen this before:

Meanwhile, in 1870 three years after I.C. Sororis began, the first women's fraternities with Greek-letter names were formed. Kappa Alpha Theta was the first, founded at DePauw in Illinois.

It's not true though. I see this stated all over the internet but the truth is Phi Nu was formed with the greek letters in 1853.
