While some keep mentioning Phi Beta Kappa, which started as the earliest known Greek named Society, they changed to an Honor Organization later.
If you now consider the current Social GLOs, I am sure a lot has to do with the region, ethnic background, and school one would be from or attend.
I became very familiar with the Male GLOs in starting a local Fraternity and which I would try to affiliate with. In the middle 60's, there was little expansion except by two. LXA and TKE were the majors and the Union Triad were the least for expansion as they are today.
Probably the best known Fraternity was SX because of the Song "The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi" and Chester Gould the penner of 'Dick Tracy" who would slip in something with SX in the cartoon that he did.
I am sure that African-Americans new little about Caucasion Fraternities as they were going to HBC and vice versa as the two ethnic groups rarely crossed paths untill now.
Actually is there a true answer, maybe not.
