[edit] History

When the Missouri Alpha Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi was founded at the University of Missouri–Columbia, it became the first chapter of a fraternity founded at any public university west of the Mississippi River. When the Zeta Phi Society was founded on November 7, 1870, one might say that the Greek Life system at MU was born, as there was now two Greek-letter groups on campus. Phi Delta Theta installed its Missouri Alpha Chapter just two weeks after the founding of Zeta Phi, which brought the total to three active groups. The first women's group to form was the Theta Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma, which installed on April 2, 1875. Missouri Alpha of Phi Kappa Psi went on to fold the next year in 1876 after initiating 72 men. As a result, Zeta Phi, which later became a chapter of Beta Theta Pi, holds the title of oldest fraternity in continuous existence at the University.
