Most of this information comes from an excellent hard back book written in 1949 by Walter J. Miller entitled Fraternities & Sororities at Iowa State.
The history is interesting, but the ending isn't quite right. Delta Sigma Phi closed and sold their chapter facility (to Sigma Pi) after an unsuccessful attempt to recolonize in 2003. Alpha Sigma Phi re-established their chapter back in 1996, and restored a facility around 1999.
