Arrow Tri Deltas and Delta Gammas....

I am not sure how Delta Delta Delta denotes its American chapters, but in Canada, it goes Canada Alpha, Canada Beta, Canada Gamma, Canada Delta (they've had up to 4 Canadian chapters).

Not sure how TriDelts denote their USA chapters...they use a different method though for their USA chapters...

----------
Another thing...some GLOs have chapters will have a "deuteron"...
A "deuteron" (D) after the chapter name indicates that the chapter has been inactive at some point in its history but is currently an active chapter.
--------------
Delta Gamma: they pretty much use the Alpha Gamma, Alpha Delta, Alpha Epsilon method (they're up to Eta Eta right now)...however, the first few chapters were able to use whatever they wanted. The first ever chapter for DG is "Psi" (now closed). Then, DG realized that they needed to start naming their chapters in a more orderly fashion, so they use the method that is in place today. However, you still see a bit of the here and there method that they used to use....for example, DG's chapter at U of Washington in Seattle is "Beta" chapter, but it is actually not the second ever chapter...it is farther down the line than that.
