Which two fraternities are among the first Greek-letter women's fraternities?

• A. Kappa Alpha Theta and Kappa Kappa Gamma
• B. Alpha Phi and Delta Gamma
• C. Gamma Phi Beta and Phi Mu
• D. Theta Phi and Kappa Alpha Theta

Answer: (A)

This question checks knowledge of which women's Greek-letter fraternities started the Greek-letter sorority tradition in the United States. Two fraternities pioneered this movement, both founded in 1870 at different campuses, establishing the pattern for later groups. Kappa Alpha Theta and Kappa Kappa Gamma were created at DePauw University (then Indiana Asbury) and Monmouth College, respectively, and introduced the Greek-letter naming and sisterhood structure that many later fraternities followed. The other groups listed were founded after that early moment, so they aren’t among the first two.
