Some of the chapters were released & became NPC chapters when a few of the institutions expanded to four-year colleges. Does anyone have information on any of these soririties?
There was at least one more, Zeta Mu Epsilon (if I recall correctly). Those three existed into the 1960s or early 1970s. Oldu, do you have access to old issues of Leland's Fraternity Month? Their annual statistical issue included the 2-year sororities in a special section just after the NPC groups.

I can get a little more info, but I'll have to do some digging around, so please remember that patience is a virtue. I should come up with something fairly soon.

I'm delighted that someone is mentioning those 2-year groups, as they obviously filled a niche for sevveral decades.
