I love this list -- it is very informative. Thanks for creating and maintaining this ajuhdg! Here are some updates (quoted info is from the chapter histories at anchors online):
Eta Delta-North Florida (1999) "[Prior to the colony] the group of women existed as a successful local group. The Sorority Interest Group, also known as SIG, was founded in the fall of 1997... At the time, UNF only had two Panhellenic sororities..."
Eta Epsilon-Vanderbilt (2000) “The Eta Epsilon chapter of Delta Gamma Fraternity was the tenth NPC group to join Vanderbilt’s Greek Community.” [There was no local in this case.]
Eta Zeta-University of Chicago (2001) “On October 1st, 1999, on the University of Chicago campus, seven women assembled for the first ever CAPPA meeting. Chicago Students Accomplishing Personal and Philanthropic Achievements was founded by Diana Fridman in her sophomore year…. They researched the remaining twenty-four National Panhellenic groups that remained; Alpha Omicron Pi and Kappa Alpha Theta were already on campus.”
Eta Alpha-Pepperdine (1996) L: Anchor Club “Twenty-nine young women became new members … At this point five other strong national NPC chapters had come on to campus including, Pi Beta Phi, Tri- Delta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Phi, and Gamma Phi Beta.” I am not sure how you want to present this, since they all became "national" sororities at the same time.
Zeta Zeta-Boston University (1988) “1987 – Interest Group A formed with 18 women
March 1987 –Special Interest Group A wrote to Delta Gamma with interest in affiliation [They switch back and forth between “Interest Group A” and “Special Interest Group A”, so I am not sure which is the official title of the group.] …Delta Gamma was the 10th NPC group on campus; there were nine fraternities at the time. [I’m assuming this means the 10th ever, though not all were active at the time.]”
Zeta Xi-Alabama, Birmingham (1991) “In 1985 Zeta Pi, a local sorority, organizes on the campus of UAB and then approaches Delta Gamma for affiliation...”
Epsilon Gamma-Virginia “Eighteen women met for the first time on April 6, 1977. At the second meeting on April 27, the women elected officers, and selected the name Gamma Chi… Friday evening, November 17, 1978 the Virginia Tech (Delta Rho) Delta Gammas conducted a ... inspirational program for the prospective initiates.... Epsilon Gamma chapter was installed the following day, November 18, the same day as Epsilon Beta chapter, Bucknell University.”
Epsilon Beta-Bucknell “installed… November 18 [1978]”
Epsilon Zeta-Loyola Marymount “Sigma Sigma Sigma and Alpha Phi were the first NPC groups on campus. Gamma Delta began with 17 women looking for a national organization to be a part of. When they decided to petition Delta Gamma… The Epsilon Zeta chapter was installed at Loyola Marymount University on February 1, 1981…”
Epsilon Rho-Western Michigan (1984) L:TXD relinquished their charter in 2007 so there are currently 145 active chapters.
Delta Phi-California, Irvine was founded in 1974.
Delta Chi-California, Davis was founded in 1975.
