[edit] Oldest Social Fraternity

The article claimed that Chi Psi was the oldest purely social fraternity, in comparison to the literary societies present at the time. However, Chi Phi was founded at the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) in 1824, seventeen years before the founding of Chi Psi. However, the current wording could be interpreted as Chi Psi being the first social fraternity at the University of Michigan, as opposed to all of the US. I've made the change removing the line of Chi Psi being the first social fraternity. Nanded 19:32, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

The Chi Phi article states that it was founded on religious and academic ideals. Chi Psi was founded solely for social purposes at Union College in 1841. Though Chi Phi is now considered a social fraternity, it was not so originally, so the Chi Psi distinction still stands. I'm going to put the language back in.--Velvet elvis81 20:58, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
