Your letters, but scrambled.

I might be the other way 'round; most of the sororities who claim to be the "first," or at least the earliest sororities/societies (Pi Phi, Kappa, Theta, ADPi, etc etc) all have three letters, although many of these had names not related to greek letters to begin with (AD Pi = Adelphean Society, Pi Phi = I. C. Sorosis, etc), so I'm not really sure what version of the letters came first. (Was Theta the first sorority with Greek letters? I seem to remember hearing that somewhere, but not really sure.)

According to Wikipedia, according to Baird's lol: In 1867, a society called I. C. Sorosis was founded as a women's fraternity and, while it closely modeled men's fraternities, the membership was not confined to college students. As Chi Theta Delta had disbanded and the Adelphean and Philomathean societies had not yet taken Greek letter names, Kappa Alpha Theta gains distinction for the first Greek letter women's fraternity to be founded with continued existence. It was founded in January 1870 at DePauw University. Kappa Kappa Gamma followed suit when it was established October 1870 at Monmouth College.
