I'm such a trivia nerd. I'm not that big of a Greek trivia buff compared to some people on here, but my chapter is amazed at how much random Kappa stuff I know.
I wish I had a question/fun fact to put up here! I'll think about it...

Tri Sigma's original colors were royal prurple & moss green.

ADPi once had a dragon at the top of its crest. If you've been to our chapter at Washington State University, it's on the fireplace.

One of Gamma Phi Beta's founders, Helen M. Dodge, was invited to join Alpha Phi fraternity, and even helped to write their constitution.

I always thought it was really cool that Sarah Ida Shaw (Ida Shaw Martin after marriage) was the nation president of two NPC sororities. She was one of Tri Delta's founders and Tri Delta's first national president, and then for 16 years she was Alpha Sigma Alpha's national president as a sort of motherly figure/guide. http://www.alphasigmaalpha.org/colle...ritage/history How very panhellenic of her 
ETA: She also wrote the first 11 volumes of The Sorority Handbook.

I heard this from one of our advisors awhile ago:
AOII was founded because all 4 founders wanted to be in the same sorority. Apparently, they all rushed and only 3 out of the 4 received invites to join, so they just started their own sorority so the fourth (Stella George Stern Perry) wouldn't be left out How sisterly!

Francis E. Haven was the founder who declined a bid to Alpha Phi, then asked 3 friends to form Gamma Phi Beta. Helen M. Dodge was tasked with writing our constitution; I've never heard of her helping with Alpha Phi's. She may have, but I've never heard of this.

I feel like I got that from ye old pledge manual...the one that came before the Legacy one that was navy (my pledge manual). I could be wrong, and if so I welcome the correction!
Gamma Phi Beta's Omicron (Illinois) chapter was the only chapter to be founded by a founder, Frances E. Haven.
