.....Neither NPC (AEPhi or AOII) that called Barnard home for their Alpha chapter is represented at Columbia. Of the NPCs (pretty sure that there were only 4 at that time) at Barnard at the time of "no more recruiting" (which, in effect, killed the chapters even before the official end), only one is represented at Columbia, Kappa Alpha Theta. Kappa Alpha Theta was colonized at Barnard around the time that our AOII Founder's were graduating. The KAT members and some KAT symbols were added in an addendum to the 1898 yearbook.

You are pretty much on target. The AZ chapter of Theta was installed in 1898. Their official closing date is listed as 1915. This does correspond with the 1913 adminstration edict that banned fraternities recruiting new members for 3 years. It was on May 18, 1916 that the students formally voted to abolish fraternities. The only other NPC to establish at Columbia that I can think of was Alpha Phi (1984-1996).
