I'm currently researching this. If you are referring to Phi Nu Theta, they were founded in 1852, not 1853 and were shortly disbanded, and were only first GLO at Dickinson, and foudned by a guy, so i doubt that's a fraternity for women.

If you are referring to Phi Nu Sigma......well the following link doenst give information about where or when it ws founded, much less where it's at, but the pictures of the guy on it and postings implies that too is a male group url]http://www.phinusigma.com/[/url]
Phi Beta Nu 1853.......it refers to members as brothers........all alumni on teh list are male as well.
