Bowling Green is home to many fraternities and sororities. Greek Life on campus started in 1922, when the first organization was founded, a local fraternity known as the Five Brothers. Many local societies were founded in the following years, including the Skol sorority (in 1923), and the Commoners fraternity (in 1927), the latter of which became the first chapter to receive a national charter, which was from Pi Kappa Alpha in 1942. By the late 1950's, almost all local societies accepted a charter from a national organization. In 1967, Omega Phi Alpha, a service sorority, became the only national Greek organization founded at the university, known as the Alpha chapter. It was created with help from the male-only (at the time) service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega.
