Does your GLO's "first ever" chapter still exist today?
Hi,
Most GLO's were founded many many years ago, either in 18xx or 19xx....so my question is: Is your GLO's "first chapter" still in existence today? I only ask, because in some cases, the college where the GLO was founded no longer exists, or the chapter is no longer there for various reasons. I thought this might make for an interesting discussion, too. Thanks everyone! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif |
Kappa Kappa Gamma was founded at Monmouth College in 1870. As far as I know, there is a Monmouth University, but no longer is there just a college (but I could be wrong.) If Monmouth College is the same as Monmouth University, then unfortunately the chapter no longer exists there. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif But it's going strong elsewhere! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Delta Tau Delta was founded in 1858 at Bethany College (Virginia), now West Virginia.
The original "Alpha" Chapter has recolonized a couple of times and is now known as Theta-Founding Chapter. Our oldest continuously existing chapter is the Beta Chapter at Ohio University which has been in existance at the same college since 1862. DeltAlum |
The first chapter of Alpha Phi was founded at Syracuse University on Sept 10, 1872. It's still going very strong. Gamma Phi Beta was also founded there two years later and Alpha Gamma Delta in 1904(?.) Anyway, all three Alpha chapters are still very much alive.

The first chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was chartered at Howard University in 1920. The chapter is still in existence -- and thrives -- to this day.

Alpha chapter of Lambda Chi is still going, as are many of the early chapters, of course the first LCA chapters are 91 years or younger, even though some that affiliated with LCA later are older.
I have a question, why do some of your founding chapters not have the Alpha designation?? ------------------ Steve Corbin Lambda Chi Alpha Theta Kappa Chapter Rose-Hulman Inst. of Tech. |

Our first Pi Beta Phi chapter--Illinois Alpha at Monmouth College--is going strong!

Chi Omega's first chapter, Psi, is called that because we go through the alphabet backwards. So, Alpha was actually number 20-something. However, I believe the longest continually open chapter was Tau, the second one. Back in the beginning of the 1900's a lot of universities made attempts to shut down their GLO's and other secret orgs. So, while Psi is a very strong chapter for Chi Omega, I think that it at least had to go "underground" for a few years. Does anyone else know of chapters of their group having to do that in the early 20th century?

Why yes, it is! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Alpha Chi's Alpha Chapter (Depauw University) is still around! In fact, the chapter just renovated their digs...it's GREAT!

Sigma Kappa was founded at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. Sadly, our original chapter no longer exists because Colby College let their greek system go. I am not sure when or why that happended.

Sigma Sigma Sigma was founded on April 20, 1898 at Longwood College in Farmville, VA. Part of the Farmville Four, our Alpha chapter is the longest continous NPC sorority presence on the campus. Our Alpha chapter will celebrate it's 103rd anniversary next month! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/cool.gif

Gotta get this stuff right, girl! Monmouth College is alive and well in Monmouth, Illinois (which is about 180 miles west of Chicago.) The Alpha Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma was founded at Monmouth College in 1870, and still exists (and is flourishing!)today. As carnation noted, Pi Beta Phi was also founded at Monmouth College (in Illinois), and that is why you commonly hear Kappa and Pi Phi referred to as "the Monmouth Duo," much like the Miami Triad of fraternities. ------------------ Oh, Kappa Kappa Kappa Gamma, I'm so happy that I am a Kappa Kappa Kappa Gamma, Nobody knows . . . how happy I am!

The Alpha Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha is still in existence. When ZTA was joining the NPC, all our chapters had to be at 4-year colleges and universities. At the time, Longwood College in Farmville, VA was still a 2-year teacher's college. Our Alpha chapter relinquished it's charter for the benefit of the Fraternity and recolonized in 1949 when Longwood became 4-year accredited.
I know that Sigma Kappa's Alpha chapter is long-since closed. There are no Greeks allowed (at all) on the Colby College Campus. [This message has been edited by PnguinTrax (edited March 02, 2001).] |

The Alpha Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha was founded March 1, 1868 at the University of Virginia, and has been going strong ever since.
Someone once told me that we are one of the few NIC groups whose first chapter has never fallen silent or been recolonized. Anyone else got any info on whether this is true? From many of the posts here, it seems that many groups have had their "first" chapter close at one point or another. |
Our alpha chapter was founded August 8, 1839. We had a problem a few years ago and the chapter recolonized. Now its going really strong.

We only have one chapter http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif 12 years and still going strong!!!

Our story is a little interesting...
Because Gamma Sig was founded by representatives from EIGHT different schools, we actually have EIGHT founding chapters. Many of us view our Zeta Chapter (located at Drexel) to be our founding chapter, since the ladies there put in most of the work founding our sorority. That chapter is still going strong today!! Our Alpha Chapter (at the University of Houston) isn't active, though. |
I may be a Kappa girl but the Theta's Alpha chapter is actually right across the street from me (DePauw University)

LXA Alpha Chapter was first at the University of Boston - it has been closed two or three times since it's founding (the World Wars, and once for operational issues) but is still a viable chapter.
