In my chapter, the original group of men who started our chapter are referred to as our founders or founding class. That group through our Gamma pledge class, inclusive, constituted our charter members, since they were all initiated simultaneously when our chapter received its charter and ceased to be a colony. I don't believe anyone would confuse our local chapter's founders with the national founders, whether those men from 1856 are referred to as "founders" or "Founders."
