Tri Sigma names it's chapters in the usual way EXCEPT we go Alpha to Psi before starting double letters. We reserve Omega chapter for those who have passed on so we don't use the letter Omega in any of our chapter designations.

Kappa Alpha Theta does Greek-alphabet order Alpha through Omega, then Alpha Beta (no double Alpha) through Alpha Omega, then Beta Beta through Beta Omega, Gamma Gamma through Gamma Omega. . . We have no Alpha Alpha but do have double letters after that (Alpha is never used as the second letter in a chapter name). We do not reserve Omega for anything, nor do we have a special chapter for deceased members or for alumnae initiates (alumnae initiates are initiated into a college chapter).

We do have 2 deuteron chapters, both are chapters with confusing histories of switching schools. There are also a few naming anomalies in the very first years of our history, and these chapters are no longer active. We now reserve the chapter name of a disestablished chapter, so it gets the same name back should it be reestablished (with no deuteron or other special designation).

We recently installed our Eta Mu and Eta Nu chapters.

Sigma Phi Epsilon goes with state then greek letter. For instance, my chapter is New York Eta. This means that means that we are the 7th chapter of SigEp in New York.

ZTA named the chapters the usual way of Alpha through Omega, Alpha Alpha through Alpha Omega, Beta Alpha etc.

We skipped over Epsilon, though.

Isn't your chapter at the U of Arkansas the Epsilon chapter?

The Epsilons were skipped (Epsilon Alpha through Epsilon Omega) but, yes, the University of Arkansas chapter is Epsilon.

Oh, okay! :) I thought I remembered that from rush booklets back in the day.
