Andrew Green clarified in 1914 that the fraternity was founded in 1847, correcting earlier records that cited 1848.
Early records incorrectly showed 1848 as the founding year due to the Fonda brothers' mistaken belief that they were founders. Andrew Green wrote a letter in 1914 to clarify the 1847 date, noting the Fonda brothers disassociated from the society upon realizing they were not founding members.
