Delta Tau Delta was founded in 1858 at Bethany College, Va (now WVa).

In those days, if the Alpha closed, a new one was desiginated. The recolonized Bethany Chapter is now called the Theta-Founding Chapter.

The current Alpha Chapter is at Allegheny College -- although it has been closed and recolonized as well in later years.

The oldest continuously existing chapter is the Beta Chapter at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. That is my home chapter.
