Just curious, how many times have they been rechartered? I know all the chapters around us either were 1. dead for 20+ years untill rechartered (Beta/Kappa) 2. Died consistantly 2,3 even 4 times. (Rho sigma for example)

Huh? Where did you get the idea that Kappa has *ever* been inactive? I agree with you on Beta, it was reactivated twice (once in the 1950s and once in the early 1990s).
I don't know if there have been any chapters that have officially been rechartered 3 times (plus the original charter), but I know that both Beta and Theta Chi (George Washington University) have been reactivated twice.
Note, for these purposes, I am *not* counting any lack of activity during World War II, where many chapters had all of their brothers go off to war and some number of these brothers returned to the school and restarted activity in 1945-46 or 1946-47. In this case no official rechartering was ever done. But this isn't even necessary for Kappa.
See
http://www.tomstrong.org/kappa/b_date.html for a list of Kappa Alumni and the date that they pledged. Largest gap I see is a little under 2 years back in the 1930s.
