  • HISTORY of FRATERNITIES, SORORITIES, and INDEPENDENT LIVING GROUPS @ MIT
    HISTORY OF FRATERNITIES, SORORITIES, and INDEPENDENT LIVING GROUPS @ MIT MIT has a rich and colorful past with its Fraternities, Sororities, and Living Groups. The FSILG Staff takes pride and interest in this history. We hope you value FSILG heritage as much as we do. All presently active Fraternities, Sororities, and Independent Living Groups at MIT are listed alphabetically with their corresponding dates of founding, addresses and dates of occupancy of their chapter rooms, and current charge addresses. Addresses are in Boston unless otherwise specified. This listing also includes the date upon which a living group became coed and affiliated (or disaffiliated) with a national Greek organization. Finally, at the end we have added similar information for other currently inactive chapters that have been important at MIT in the last several decades. The data for this historical listing has been secured from chapter records, fraternity and sorority records, Dean’s Office records, historical records of Boston, Cambridge, and Brookline, Technique, and student directories. If you feel that any information below is incomplete or erroneous, please contact Pam Gannon ‘84 at - [email protected], or Brad Badgley at [email protected].

  • OUR MUTUAL QUEST... Interfraternity History and Objectives
    OUR MUTUAL QUEST... interfraternity history and objectives Origin of Fraternities............................74-76 U.S. Presidents in Fraternities.................77 Nomenclature...........................................78 Fraternity Language..............................78-79 Interfraternal Acronyms............................79 College Fraternities...............................80-81 Interfraternity Organizations...................81-82 ORIGIN OF FRATERNITIES The American college fraternity system is as old as the United States itself, for it was in 1776 that the first secret Greek-letter society came into existence. It was the custom then for students at William and Mary, the second oldest college in America, to gather in the Apollo Room of the Raleigh Tavern in Williamsburg, Virginia, to discuss the affairs of the day. On the night of December 5, 1776, five close companions stayed after the others had left and founded Phi Beta Kappa. A secret motto, grip, and ritual were subsequently adopted. The Fraternity had to be secret because the William and Mary faculty didn’t approve of its students discussing social issues and possibly straying too far from accepted beliefs. Therefore, the members developed secret signals of challenge and recognition. The concept of a secret grip, motto, ritual, a distinctive badge, code of laws and the use of Greek letters by Phi Beta Kappa were adopted by subsequent fraternities. Fraternity, Morality, and Literature were the principles symbolized by the stars on the silver medal adopted as the insignia of Phi Beta Kappa membership. The society prospered, and three years later expansion began. Chapters were established at Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth and numerous other campuses. As Phi Beta Kappa developed, it evolved into a purely honorary society. For this reason, as other fraternities were founded, they were not considered competitors.
