Are all these active chapters?
|
No, unfortunately :(
Some Universities/Colleges listed (i.e. Harvard, Hamilton, Hobart) banned the Greek System after we were established at the institution. Like most of the other GLO, we honored the name to that specific institution. ETA. Not sure about GLO banning at Kenyon College. |
Our oldest chapter, Eta, will be celebrating 125 years on March 15!!! :D

Alpha - Longwood College
They are the only single letter chapter we've had since our reorganization in 1914 and the only way we would have any other is if one of these became active again: 1903 [Beta] Lewisburg (WV) (inactive since 1904) 1904 [Gamma] Columbia (SC) (inactive since 1909) 1905 [Delta] Mary Baldwin (inactive since 1907) 1905 [Epsilon] Fauquier Institute (inactive since 1907) 1905 [Zeta] Fairmont Seminary (inactive since 1906) 1905 [Eta] Ward Seminary (inactive since 1909) 1910 [Nu] Shorter (inactive since 1912) 1908 [Iota] Randolph - Macon (inactive since 1913) |

Actually, I have a few friends that go there and are very interested in restarting Greek life. I don't think it will happen, though. Administration and alums are generally opposed to it. ETA: Basically all Pi Phi chapters are single-letter, since we do the state-naming system. I know that at one time we did the method of just running through the alphabet, but that was long before my chapter colonized. I expect that some older chapters still have that on their charters, however. |
Single letter chapters of Zeta Tau Alpha. Many of the chapters at these schools went inactive because sororities were abolished at the school. I put a star next to those schools.
