The first American collegiate fraternity was the Flat Hat Club. I believe that Phi Beta Kappa was the second.

The next American collegiate fraternity that I am aware of is KA Circle, founded in 1812 at the University of North Carolina. It died out by 1866.

We should all be aware of the rest of the lineage of fraternities which really starts with KA Society at Union in 1825.
