Beta Theta Pi:

At nine o'clock in the evening of the eighth day of the eighth month of the year 1839, eight earnest young men, all students at Miami University, held the first regular meeting of Beta Theta Pi in the Hall of the Union Literary Society, an upper room in the old college building (known as "Old Main.") The eight founders in the order in which their names appear in the minutes were:

John Reily Knox, 1839
Samuel Taylor Marshall, 1840
David Linton, 1839
James George Smith, 1840
Charles Henry Hardin, 1841
John Holt Duncan, 1840
Michael Clarkson Ryan, 1839
Thomas Boston Gordon, 1840

"of ever honored memory"

That makes us the 6th oldest fraternity in existance, and the 2nd fraternity at Miami University at that time (Alpha Delta Phi - 1832), but the first to be founded there.

Since one of my Phi Sig sisters beat me to it...

TAU BETA SIGMA National honorary sorority for members of the collegiate band (co-ed) was founded on:

March 26, 1946 (Alpha Chapter)
May 4, 1946 (Beta Chapter)

Our founder was from the Beta Chapter at Texas Tech, the founding members couldnt get incorperated in Texas, so they gave permission to the Oklahoma women to become the Alpha, because they wanted the sorority to be national and they needed to be incorperated.
