The Alpha chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau was founded (and is active!) at Eastern Michigan University (then Michigan State Normal College) in Ypsilanti, Michigan, on November 4, 1899.
In 1899, in Ypsilanti, Mich., Eight great girls sat right down and made themselves a wish! They made the best sorority, The best you'll ever see! Our colors are now green and gold We call it AST! |

You're an Alpha, right? I thought the Cornell chapter reactivated. Their home page looks current: http://www.rso.cornell.edu/alpha/home.html |

Oh! In that case, I was initiated into Delta Zeta's Omicron chapter, which is one of only 5 single letter chapters still active. |
I know that my brother and grandfather are both alums of the Phi chapter (Bethany College, WV) of Phi Kappa Tau, whose house was next to the Delta Tau Delta, which was founded at Bethany and still exists there today.

Indiana University has several single letter chapters. Besides the Alpha chapters of Kappa Alpha Psi and Gamma Phi Omega, other single letter chapters include:
Alpha Phi Omega (Mu) Delta Gamma (Theta) Delta Zeta (Epsilon) Kappa Alpha Theta (Beta) Kappa Delta Rho (Nu) Kappa Kappa Gamma (Delta) Phi Gamma Delta (Zeta) Sigma Chi (Lambda) Sigma Delta Tau (Upsilon) Sigma Pi (Beta) Quite a few! |
All but three current NPC sororities (11 out of 14) at The University of Nebraska have single chapter denotations.
NU Sororities Active Alpha Chi Omega - Xi Alpha Omicron Pi - Zeta Alpha Phi - Nu Alpha Xi Delta - Rho Chi Omega - Kappa Delta Delta Delta - Kappa Delta Gamma - Kappa Delta Sigma Theta - Omicron Gamma Phi Beta - Pi Kappa Alpha Theta - Rho Kappa Delta - Pi Kappa Kappa Gamma - Sigma Phi Beta Chi - Theta Sigma Psi Zeta - Xi Inactive Delta Zeta - Zeta Sigma Delta Tau - Theta Theta Phi Alpha - Mu NU Fraternities Active Acacia (4th oldest) Alpha Gamma Rho - Kappa Alpha Gamma Sigma - Gamma Beta Sigma Psi - Delta Triangle - (23rd oldest) Inactive Alpha Sigma Phi - Xi Kappa Alpha Psi - Eta Pi Kappa Phi - Nu Tau Kappa Epsilon - Phi |
Yes, our Alpha Chapter @Butler U. is active.

I initiated into Iota chapter of AOII at the University of Illinois. It has been continuously operating since 1911.
In response to one of the posts about how does an Alpha chapter close, I know that in our case (and AEPhi, which was also founded at Barnard), the college banned GLOs. I believe this is true for some other GLOs also. I think in some other cases, the colleges ceased to exist. These closures aren't always a reflection on the chapter, but can be due to circumstances beyong the GLO's control. These closures are sources of sadness, but not shame. Our oldest chapters: Alpha - Barnard 1897-1914 (Greeks banned 1914-1917) Pi - Sophie Newcomb/Tulane 1898-1976/1986-1995 Nu - New York U. 1900-1961 Omicron - Tennessee 1902 Zeta - Nebraska 1903 Kappa - Randolph-Macon Women's College 1903-1960 (Greeks banned 1960) Theta - DePauw 1907-1979/1983-2000 Sigma - California Berkeley 1907 Beta - Brown 1908 (Greeks banned 1908) Gamma - Maine 1908 Delta - Tufts 1908-1969/1987 (Greeks banned 1969, reinstated 1987) Epsilon - Cornell 1908 Rho - Northwestern 1909-1973 Lambda - Stanford 1910-1944 (Greeks banned 1944) Iota - Illinois 1911 Tau - Minnesota 1912 Chi - Syracuse 1914-1958/1985-2000? Upsilon - Washington 1915-1995 Nu Kappa - SMU 1915-1942 Beta Phi - Indiana 1916 Eta - Wisconsin 1917-1942 Alpha Phi - Montana State 1917 Nu Omicron - Vanderbilt 1917 Phi - Kansas 1918-1969/1980-1996 Psi - Penn 1918-1958 Omega - Miami, OH 1919 Omicron Pi - Michigan 1921-196?/1978-1993 Alpha Sigma - Oregon 1923-1989 Xi - Oklahoma 1924 We never chartered a "Mu" chapter. AOII lets the chapters select their names. Many are chosen to honor people who helped establish them, or other considerations. (Illinois is Iota b/c of the "I".) |
