National sororities that pioneered on a campus

[oldu]

Thanks for the nice response. Yes, on the list by decade that represents the number of new institutions where national sororities were introduced, and the accompanying list names the sorority involved. I don't have the list of each sorority by decade. What I did was complicated enough. I still love you despite your talking to me rude sometimes.

But now you know that our rudeness is not life threatening.

Thanks for the explanation.

Question- how did you determine who was first? The reason I'm asking is because the SUNY system closed all national sororities and fraternities at one point, and then allowed them to return in, I think, the 90's. So a group that may have not been the first national originally, may have been when the campuses re-opened to nationals, and vice versa.

How are the NPHC chapters counted? Is it by any sorority or by council? For example, if at State U, Kappa Kappa Gamma was the first NPC chartered in 1924, and Delta Sigma Theta was the first NPHC chartered in 1925, does only Kappa count as first (sororities overall)? Or do they both count in their respective categories?

The first chapter to install is listed as the first, no matter whether NPHC or NPC. As in the case of SUNY campuses and others where the system closed down, the original one that pioneered is listed, and then when the campus re-opened the first to re-install is listed as another first. In many cases, several groups installed the same year but I tried to find the one that actually installed their chapter first. There maybe as many as 20 cases when that could not be determined, and in that case more than one group is listed. As in every study or poll, there is a margin of error of some minor percent but I doubt that any group is off by more than one or at most two. Believe me, it wasn't an easy task but we have the actual date of nearly 90% of the first charterings.

That was the basis of my question. I find it hard to believe that 41 Delta chapters were the first GLO of any kind on a campus. I mean we had a hard enough time getting chartered on campuses with an existing Greek system as it was. However, it is very believable that those chapters were the first BGLO on a campus.
