Oldest Fraternity on your Campus

[lovespink88]

I know this was a random, old thread bump, but I thought it was interesting so I'll play.

I always thought Delta Tau Delta was the first fraternity here. The sign in their front lawn even says "Illinois' First Fraternity". But when I looked at the IFC website to confirm they were like the sixth... So I don't know what's up with that. The oldest are:

Sigma Chi 1881
Kappa Sigma 1891
Phi Kappa Sigma 1892
Phi Delta Theta 1893
and THEN
Delta Tau Delta 1894

As for sororities, I know Pi Phi and Theta both claim they were the first on campus. According to Office of Student Affairs website, Pi Beta Phi won by 15 days (Pi Phi was founded on Oct. 25, 1895, while Theta was on Nov. 9, 1895).

U. Mississippi was also home to Alpha Kappa Chapter of Beta Sigma Omicron from 1927-1932, and Gamma Chapter of a small sorority called Kappa Sigma Tau from 1927 until around 1930.

All changed! I got those dates out of yearbooks when I worked in the Alumni Office and had access to yearbooks going back to the 1890s....
