I'm not looking for a specific day or year (though that would be extraordinary). Comments like "it was in regular use by the 1950s" would be helpful..

Anyway brother, I think we've spoken about this offline (at Cheesecake Factory?), but I think Black Greek 101 will be your best resource. As you know, a lot of BGLO traditions can't be traced to even a specific decade because of the lack of research and the reliance on oral history.
