I do not know off the top of my head why Rho is special.
Omicron Lambda Alpha was the first intermediate chapter, which loosely defined means a chapter for people enrolled in graduate and professional schools or approximately in that age group.
Omicron Lambda Beta was the only other intermediate chapter. They were for graduate students at Illinois.
Me and another Greekchatter were discussing this last week and we were uncertain whether Chi Chapter at Meharry Medical College was considered by the fraternity to be a collegiate chapter or an alumni chapter. We decided to ask somebody but neither of us did. lol

My guess is that Rho was so early that they hadn't established the system yet. And in this case, Graduate chapter is confusing because the intermediate chapters were for graduate students.
In regards to Chi chapter, I think the question is whether they initiate brothers who aren't currently attending Meharry (or other institutions of higher education). If they do, alumni chapter, if they don't collegiate.
