What's your orgs highest chapter designation as of right now?
 

For those who are interested in how Alpha Gam names its chapters, you can check out greeklawgirl's I cracked the code! thread. Our chapters are named based on what region they're in. The only thing I'd like to point out is the fact that after my chapter was chartered, the next chapter in the West should have been named "Delta Omega", however...our Chapman University chapter is Delta Tau.

Delta Tau is also our newest chapter, officially chartered in 2003.

APO's highest is Alpha Epsilon Psi, at Bridgewater College.

Here's a
list of all our chapters, active or inactive, by chapter name.

Gamma Sig's is Eta Beta, at Francis Marion University.

Eta Iota (HI - hee) at Creighton University, 2005.

To the best of my researching abilities, Beta has a Phi Chi chapter at Yale...but our naming scheme appears to have techinically made it through the Zetas by skipping the Etas. Does that make any sense? LOL :confused:

We go by the standard A, B, G, D, E, Z, H, Q etc, then AA, AB, AG, AD etc.

Ours latest is Epsilon Omega, so our next colony cracks Theta!!

I think Delt's is the Iota Theta Chapter at Kennesaw State in Georgia. Maybe we went higher at one point but chapter(s) may have been tombstoned. But Iota Theta is the highest one currently operating that I can think of.

Pi Beta Phi names our chapters by state and then by greek letter (ex. Florida Alpha, Florida Beta) I think the highest we have is California Nu.

Beta, lol. We only have two chapters. :)

I believe it's Theta Beta- Case Western Reserve Univesity!

Ours is Iota Lambda at St. Norbert College in DePere, Wisconsin (we skipped the Eta series nationals didn't like the way it sounded)

Upsilon-Epsilon at West Virginia State College in 2002

LOL! I was always glad that my chapter wasn't Eta Omicron!

Well, AOII does not go in any sort of order, meaning like Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, etc....but our newest chapter designation name is Sigma Beta at St. Joe's in PA (20054-2005). Our newest colony at USC-Aiken has yet to be named.

Ours is Theta Delta, but I know there have been some skipped.

I'm at work, so I don't have my book to look it up.

Theta Chi, University of Georgia

Right now I think there's 3 or 4 NEW colonies, so we're going to be at Iota Alpha soon.

Are there specific reasons why some letters are skipped, or why some orgs don't go in Alpha-Beta-Gamma order? That has always puzzled me.

For Theta Nu Xi, it's

Alpha Beta - Wayne State University

last chapter
 

Upsilon Iota--Indiana U/Purdue at Indianapolis
TKE skipped the Eta alphabet entirely.
We have had an orderly naming since day one, save Sigma chapter is called "Scorpion"= the old local, both begin with S tho.
TKE has about 25 colonies & affiliates, mostly revivals.

It is so hard to reply to this question!

With the Merger of TKN in 1939, there were designations that began with Theta, and Kappa. These were relegated for the Merger into LXA.

The Last Intitiated Chapter is Lambda Pi In St. Louis!:cool:

With The opening of Colonies, it is also hard!:cool:

On the topic of the Eta Omicron chapter...our Sigma Chi here is the Eta Omicron chapter and they had shirts made...

Sigma Chi
HO


How classy :)

Tri Sigma never uses Omega when naming a collegiate chapter. The Omega Chapter is for the sisters who have passed away.

OH, Oh, What If You Were A Omicron?:D

Step away from the wine, tom. lol

Try Pi Lambda. We are on the Pi series.

Alpha Phi is at Iota Iota, George Washington University. As you probably know from the chapter naming thread, Alpha Phi did not go through the double letter Alphas as most GLOs did. The only chapter whose designation begins with Alpha is our Alpha Chapter, Syracuse.

Yepper, was coming back to edit it!

Read backwards sometimes!:(

Epsilon Omicron - Monmouth University (N.J.)

That's lovely!

We use Omega Alpha as our designation for Alumnae Initiates.

Zeta Tau Alpha will welcome Kappa Chi (Chapter #236) at Shorter College in Rome, GA this weekend!

Re: last chapter
 

when was the IUPUI chapter installed as a chapter??

Alpha Delta Pi's newest chapter is Theta Alpha which was just installed a couple of weeks ago in Missouri! :)

I forget what Phi Sig's MOST recent one is... but I know it's Iota somethin' like Iota Epsilon ?? I'll look it up...

ACK!!! I didn't know when that would happen!!

*happy dance!*

Highest chapter designation is my own chapter, Beta Epsilon.

We did Alpha->Omega, Alpha Alpha->Alpha Omega, Epsilon Alpha->Epsilon Omega, Phi Alpha->Phi Omega, then we started at Beta Alpha.

We don't have a special chapter designation for the deceased, or for alum initiates (we do not do AI as a rule).

Ours is rare - there were three last year. But who knows what the future holds?

We did what AEPhi did except with our own letters, we did Alpha through Omega then Delta Alpha through Delta Omega, then Phi Alpha through Phi Omega then Epsilon Alpha through Epsilon Omega and then went back to Beta Alpha to Beta Omega. We are on Gamma Delta (U of TX at Kingsville) but we have since re-charted Delta Epsilon at Drexel University in Philadelphia which was a format chapter.

Our next colony would be named Gamma Epsilon at it's chartering.

Denise

ADPi chapter.
 

Before the new Theta Alpha girls, The newest was Eta Omega chapter, located at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky. I think they colonized in 2000?

Our oldest active chapter is Delta chapter at University of Texas, Austin.

Our AI program initiates have the chapter designation of Omega Alpha.

We don't skip any letters in our designations.

If I remember correctly, our newest chapter at Arizona State is Pi Zeta. Incidentally, we have no Eta line of chapters, either.
