My understanding is that during the depression, Lombard College closed and its students transfered to Knox. Alpha Xi Delta's Alpha chapter's charter was transfered to Knox at that time. Unforturnately our Alpha closed in 1973.
The "merger" of Lombard and Knox is reflected in the chapter name of the Pi Beta Phi Chapter as it is Illinois Beta-Delta. This reflects the Illinois Beta chapter which was at Lombard and Illinois Delta which was at Knox at the time of the "merger".
Alpha Xi Delta's oldest continously operating chapter is our Beta Chapter at Iowa Wesleyan, which celebrates it 100 year aniversary this year.
