In the beloved series of books about Betsy, Tacy and Tib, by Maud Hart Lovelace, the Philomathian and Zetamathian Societies figure prominently in their high school years. I believe they were formed sort of as fraternities/sororities to have a friendly competition factor among the students. This was back at the turn of the century so it was all very healthy and fun, unlike the cut-throat contests of today. Aunt Bee of Orlando
