Pi Phi- first national college fraternity
Theta- first GLO for women
ADPi- first secret society
GPhiB- first to be called a sorority
Phi Sig- first completely non-sectarian, non-scripture based
Kappa Kappa Gamma- first at Barnard College

I'm fairly certain that's how Baird's originally listed the various "firsts".
Also, let's not forget the one of the purposes of New Member manuals is to indoctrinate the New Members into their particular GLO. I'd like to think that every NM manual includes the names & at least photos of the pins of each NPC sorority, but I may be idealistic.
ETA: I haven't seen our latest NM Manual, but we had photos of both the GLO pins & NM pins in mine.
