A bit of trivia, 7 of the 13 chapters are single-letter (not counting Pi Phi).

The Kansas Alpha Chapter of Pi Beta Phi would be a single letter chapter if we named our chapters in that manner. It was founded in 1873. Three of the chapter's founders had a sister who was a member of the chapter at Lombard College. The Lombard College Pi Phi heard that Beta Theta Pi was trying to start a chapter at KU and she persuaded her sister to get some friends together to start a chapter.
