In the list it is, but that appears to be a typo. If you look at the link for the society itself, it's Philomathian. ('Course, that's still not quite "Philomath
ean.")
I know we all think of Phi Mu in connection with Philomathean, but
many schools have had Philomathean societies over the years. Typically, they were/are literary or debating societies. The
Philomathean Society of the University of Pennsylvania, founded in 1813, is the oldest continually-existing literary society in the country. UVA's Philomathean was founded in 1849. Phillips Academy's Philomathean Society, founded in 1825, is the oldest high school debating society in the country.
