They became increasingly unpopular in the 1960s, due to the atmosphere of social equality and Yale's adoption of mandatory full meal plans for undergraduates. The underclass fraternities began to wither as a result. These included elaborate facilities for living and dining and became centers of social life. In 1932, the Yale opened 10 residential colleges. Other types of fraternities, however, were also formed. Originally most of these were an interrelated system of socially or academically elite junior, sophomore, and even freshman societies, which fed into the prestigious senior societies. Secret and senior societies proliferated, and with them, fraternities. In 1832, Phi Beta Kappa's evolution from a secret academic society into a public one occasioned the formation of the Society of Skull and Bones. In 1780, a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa (a secret academic society begun at the College of William and Mary four years earlier) was instituted. In 1738, Yale students founded the first selective college organization, a debating society named Crotonia two competitors sprang up soon after, Linonia (1753) and Brothers in Unity (1768). The fraternity system in American education was developed at Yale. A number of prominent secret societies, including Skull and Bones, are composed of Yale College students. The campus features at least 18 a cappella groups, the most prominent of which is The Whiffenpoofs. The campus also includes several fraternities and sororities. The Yale College Council manages several agencies that oversee campus activities and student services. Dwight Hall, an independent, non-profit community service organization, oversees more than 2,000 Yale undergraduates working on more than 60 community service initiatives in New Haven. The latter category includes the Yale Daily News, which was first published in 1878 and is the oldest daily college newspaper in the United States. The university features a variety of student journals, magazines, and newspapers. The Yale Political Union, the oldest student political organization in the United States, is often the largest organization on campus, and is advised by alumni political leaders such as John Kerry and George Pataki. There are a number of student organizations at Yale University.
