Alpha Phi Omega has more than 600 chapters and thus has three letter chapters. In 1979, Omega Omega at Gallaudet University was followed by Alpha Alpha Alpha at Maryville University, We just chartered (August 13th) Alpha Eta Beta.

Our chapter letters are assigned in the order Alpha, Beta, Gamma, ... Omega, Alpha Alpha, Alpha Beta, ... Alpha Omega, Beta Alpha...., there are a few glitches, of course. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...(chronological)


I think all nine of the NPHC fraternities have three letter chapters with a specific greek letter typically placed at the end of the names of graduate chapters.
