Actually Knox was in existance before Lombard closed and absorbed Lombard College in the depression. Alpha Xi Delta transfered its Alpha Chapter to Knox at the time of the merger of the colleges, absorbing a local that was already in existance at Knox. Pi Beta Phi and Sigma Nu had chapters at both Knox and Lombard, which were merged as well.
Alpha Xi Delta's Beta chapter at Iowa Wesleyan has the distinction of actually being in existance before the fraternity was founded. Our Beta chapter was originally Chapter "S" of PEO and became Beta of Alpha Xi Delta when PEO stopped having college chapters.
