Chapters that were originally Rainbow
Pi – University of Mississippi 1848 (1886)

DeltAlum, I realize that you didn't post this, but thought you might know. Did your fraternity used to reuse letters? I ask this because I know that Iowa State's Delt Chapter was originally Omega before the ban on Greek Life (1890s). When Greek Life was reinstated (1904) and Delt returned (believe they'd gone underground), they became the Gamma Pi chapter.
