Phi Rho Eta from a group at Southern Illinois Carbondale. Jesse Bridge's pages ( http://members.tripod.com/~APQGSS/newaindex.html) say that they were formed in the 1980s. But the pages for the Fraternity say 1994 ( http://www.phirhoeta.org)
A group that formed out of the failed Alpha Phi Omega extension to University of Maryland Eastern Shore in the mid 1990s. Not sure if it is still around, they had a web page at least of a few years ago.
Alpha Delta. 2008. Chapters at U of Maine, Duquesne U. and Drexel U. |
The group from the Maryland Eastern Shore extension attempt was Theta Beta Phi.
Also, reading through the 1992 History Book, the APO chapter at Baylor (Zeta Omega) in 1972 unanimously voted to end the groups affiliation with Alpha Phi Omega and became Phi Kappa Alpha. In 1976 Phi Kappa Alpha applied to become a colony of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and in 1977 they received their charter from Sigma Alpha Epsilon. So I guess Phi Kappa Alpha, while it didn't last that long belongs in the list.
