Here's the Wikipedia link to their chapters. I know Wikipedia isn't always the best source of info, but...
Yeah, I saw that. It lists 25 chapters, while the complaint says 24 chapters.

Meanwhile, The Wiki has this somewhat odd and enigmatic statement:
Quote:
In the 90's TEP and the Fraternity system in general went into decline. Some chapters were financially unable to survive however they survive online today thanks to the internet. [source needed]
I think it's interesting both because of the suggestion of chapters surviving on the internet and because, while I would have said the 60s and 70s were tough on the Greek system, I wouldn't say that about the 90s.

Quote:
The chapter at University of Florida had been pretty big 100+, and recently returned with a large amount of members.
The Wiki list says Florida is the largest chapter. Just glancing at a few chapter websites, MIT's chapter claims 22 members, Georgia's 70+, UNC's 39, Maryland's 29, Pitt's 37, Cornell's 76 . . . .

Yes, that's right. Phi Kappa Phi's website.

The seven chapters were those at Eastern Michigan University, the University of Wisconsin-Stout, the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, Northland College (Wisconsin), West Virginia Wesleyan College, Concord College, (West Virginia) and the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
