Orgs like Psi U, Sigma Phi, Delta Phi, Alpha Sig and Chis Psi possibly even DKE are all old prominent orgs, however they faltered as time went on, which is why you hardly see them. It is also another reason why they are engraved in our history, yet are not real prominent anymore. Beta was near that, as you can see our expansion in the late 1800's was pretty slow..., whereas orgs like SX, Phi Delt, SAE all continued to expand, explaining their long existance with 150 or more chapters. We all agree that the old early greeks play a big role in who/why we exist today, however, they are hardly elite IMHO. I do respect them however and am thankful for them.

True, The Union Triad as it was known had a strong Listing of Old Line Greeks. Granted there were some as SN, TX, TKE, and some others who started outside of the Founding Ground so to speak. The Old Days.
The Next was the Miami Triad who seemed to be the Birth of more progressive Greeks.
While there have been Greeks started at other schools (LXA) at Boston U. for one there are others.
It just seemed that the Union Triad were less expansion minded while the Miami Triad was more so until the 1960s.
But, expansion is life and ergo some are getting a little more expansion minded, but little by little.
