Oldu,

A little more about “two-year” sororities with chapters that entered NPC groups:

Alpha Kappa Psi was a small sorority (never in NPC or AES) with chapters in a few four-year institutions and in some two-year (or so) seminaries / academies, etc. Three of its chapters entered Tri Delta, but not recently.

In 1913, AKPsi's Delta chapter at Wesleyan Female College (GA) became Alpha Gamma chapter of Tri Delta. It closed in 1916 because of faculty anti-sorority “legislation.”

Also in 1913, AKPsi's Sigma Nu chapter at Stetson (FL) became Alpha Delta chapter of Tri Delta.

In 1916 AKPsi's Eta chapter at Florida State College for Women (changed to what is now Florida State U circa 1947) became Alpha Eta chapter of Tri Delta.

Sources for the above are Baird's 7th edition (1912) and Tri Delta's 100th anniversary history (1988).

AKPsi was founded in 1904 at St. Mary's School in Raleigh NC, by the way. Its Wesleyan chapter was founded in 1907; Florida State in 1907 or 1908 depending on who you believe, Baird's or Tri Delta; and Stetson in 1909.

Sources for the above are Baird's 7th edition (1912) and Tri Delta's 100th anniversary history (1988).

Oldu, is this the kind of thing you want to know about? I wish I could find something definite and more recent about Sigma Iota Chi and Eta Upsilon Gamma.
