The oldest existing national organization is Kappa Alpha Society -1825. Several other local groups predate KA including the Mystic Seven at Wesleyan and the final clubs at Harvard. The Porcellin Club was founded in the 1790's at Harvard. Another old local Kappa Kappa Kappa was founded at Dartmouth in 1841.
My fraternity Delta Upsilon is the sixth oldest existing National/International Fraternity being founded in 1834 at Williams College(sadly the active chapter at Williams transformed itself into a local nonselective cooperative called Garfield House in 1965 under severe University pressure). DU has 81 active chapters, 1 colony and 6/7 petitioning groups at this time, a far larger amount than any of the older active fraternities.
