Celebrate a founding *time*?

Today is the 87.5th anniversary of Alpha Phi Omega (seven eights of a Century) and I was trying to make sure I got it as close as I could when I realized that Alpha Phi Omega doesn't keep track of a founding time. Now given that our founding date was a Wednesday, I'm expecting late afternoon or evening, but we just didn't keep track of it.

Does anyone know of a GLO where the founding *time* is part of the history?

I know Beta does: 9:00 in the evening of the eighth day of the eighth month of 1839.

I don't think I've ever seen a founding time for us.

I feel like a Theta Chi buddy of mine told me once when they were founded, time and all.

Definitely not SigEp. 11/1/01 was partially chosen out of convenience. That's kind of cool, though, if you have a founding time. It enhance Founders' Day event planning in a way.

Alpha Delta Pi

The Adelpheans (Founders of Alpha Delta Pi) met after classes on Wednesday, May 14, 1851 to distribute the ribbons that would designate the founders, and they wore them to morning Chapel at 7am on May 15, 1851.
