I have a question, but it's a real question.... I don't know the answer and I am hoping someone will. It probably sounds stupid, but I always thought that our chapters were named down the greek alphabet by order of founding; i.e. Old chapters being single letter chapters, etc. Alpha, Beta....; then Alpha Alpha...
But aparently that's not correct. University of Cincinnati, Omega Xi, was founded in 1913, fairly early to have Omega Xi as a chapter designation.
Also, I recently found out that the first northern Chapter, located at Northwestern, was named Lambda chapter in honor of SAE leader, William Levere, who was instrumental in Northwestern's colonization. Also, that Florida State's chapter was named Kappa Alpha chapter in honor of The KA Society which helped in the establishment of the chapter at FSU.
So, what I was told lo these many years ago is not true, or at least not true all the time, so I am stumped. Ta Kala, SydneyK, Leslie Anne, and all of you fellow KD history buffs, help me out! Are our chapters in greek letter order with a few exceptions, or is there no order?
