chronological evolvement of sororities

[oldu]

I have just been advised that there is active today a sorority at Mac Murray College in Illinois by the name of Phi Nu which was founded in 1853. It is listed on the college site as a sorority, but with no other information. Anyone have a contact at Mac Murray?

I am a recent alumna of Phi Nu society at MacMurray, and I have all kinds of information!
I am now working on my Master's thesis at Eastern Illinois University and need some information on purely local as well as national sororities. I'd like it if you would be able to help me with this endeavor.

BTW, the Adelphean Society became Alpha Delta Phi in 1904 (1991 Baird's), then Alpha Delta Pi when it was discovered that there was a northern fraternity already named Alpha Delta Pi.

I just attended a Clio reunion at McKendree - the oldest attending alumna graduated in 1947, and we were told the oldest living member of the McKendree alumni is a Clionian aged 104.

We still are called Clio, but we do use our letters - Kappa Lambda Iota - and we are still going strong.

One of the recent (2003?) sisters at the Clio reunion at McKendree April 6 did her senior research paper on the history of Clio - I bet if you contacted Clio c/o McKendree University they could put you in touch with her.
