Every Zeta Beta Tau website I've researched (including Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) has Zeta Beta Tau as being founded December 29, 1898 at City College of New York. "On December 29, 1898, he [Dr. Richard J. H. Gottheil] formed a Zionist youth society with a group of Jewish students from several New York City universities." This is the closest I've seen to anything about Columbia. And that the professor was a teacher at Columbia. I tried to confirm the founding at the Zeta Beta Tau HQ website. However, I could not find a history of the fraternity on their site.

In any case, I am more than happy to edit my post.

Just to keep the terminology straight, Barnard maintains some independence from Columbia and is usually classified as one of the Seven Sisters rathar than as part of the Ivy League.

The three undergraduate founders of Omega Psi Phi--later Bishop Edgar A. Love, Dr. Oscar J. Cooper and Professor Frank Coleman--were collectively called the "Three Musketeers" by students during their undergraduate years at Howard University.

Omega Psi Phi was invited to "colonize" at the University of Havana in December 1951 just before Gen. Fulgencio Batista staged a coup d'etat, cancelled elections, ousted Cuban President Carlos Prio Socarras and became dictator in March 1952. In the midst of this political tumult, nothing ever came of this opportunity.
