How It All Began...

Since I have been doing this blog I have been talking about how great Greek life is but I realize now I never explained how Greek life began. Greek life was founded at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia in 1776. The first organization of Greek life was named Phi Beta Kappa Society founded by John Heath because of rejection from Latin-letter fraternities at his school. Greek life later stemmed from Virginia and other chapters based on philantrophy and brotherhood. Different chapters were given different letters of the Greek alphabet to identify themselves and each organization was founded on various virtues but mainly on the cornerstone of philantrophy and brotherhood.
