First Sorority...

[sueali]

Our founder's did use their initials at first, but switched to Sigma Kappa very early on (the article didn't give a date) but the meaning behind the initials was easily figured out, so that is when they switched to SK.

In terms of the word sorority. I have asked this question to HQ. We did not use the term first, as it was coined for GphiB. We were just simply known as sigma kappa, it wasn't until we expanded in 1904 that we started to use the term sorority. Most likely as one GphiB has pointed out we were just referred to as a society until we started to use sorority. But we were founded on November 9th 1874 making us 2 days older than GphiB

I also want to mention that it was not a Sigma Kappa poster who posted about the NPC, we never once said that we joined the NPC before GphiB, that was a Pi Beta Phi (maybe, since she posted her founding date wrong). Yes, GphiB joined the NPC before us as did many other chapters as we did not expand off our original campus of Colby College until 1904.
