How old is your fraternity/sorority?

[BrianMUDU]

I'm bored, so I'm asking Post when your GLO was founded, where, and it's "rank" if you know it.

Delta Upsilon was founded in 1834 at Williams College and is the 6th oldest fraternity in North America.

gammazetagrl,

Unfortunately our first Chapter is not active anymore either. Not too happy about that. Our chapter was the 15th DU chapter founded, but is currently the 5th oldest. Just goes to show how easy it is for a chapter to become inactive.

Kappa Kappa Gamma debuted on October 13, 1870. Our Alpha chapter is still there at Monmouth College, though I'm pretty sure it left and came back.

Alpha Phi International Fraternity was founded at Syracuse University in 1872, and it's the fourth oldest and fourth largest national sorority.

This is totally off topic PsiU, but I had the opportunity to visit your HQ last fall. It has a great design, and I love the board room with all of the chapter crests hanging along the wall!

ZTA, as already stated, was found in 1898 at Longwood College in Farmville, VA. We are one of the Farmville Four, along with KD, Tri-Sig, and Alpha Sigma Alpha. I haven't met any of the sisters from alpha chapter, but at a Jimmy Buffett concert, I met some Pi Kapps from Longwood. They told me alpha chapter was going strong, and that the rest of us Zetas would definitely be proud of them.

Pi Kappa Phi was founded here at the College of Charleston in 1904. I am friends with all the guys at alpha chapter. They were reorganized in 1999, and were down to 15 guys. But now, in the span of 3 formal rushes, they are up to 60, and are one of the leading fraternities on campus.
