Bound By a Mighty Vow is a good source of information on early history.
Theta was the first women's group to use Greek letters (January 1870) followed closely by Kappa (in October 1870). Not sure about counting a literary society which later became a social sorority as being "first".
IMHO, I think this whole "first" thing is kind of silly and has been argued ad infinitum and beaten to death. I think of ADPi and Phi Mu as being "first" even if they didn't use Greek letters. And in the big picture, what difference does it make? Besides I wish we had those big badges (like the Adelphean badge,the Kappa key and Theta kite that were so huge you couldn't miss them).
