Beta Theta Pi named in order...Alpha to Omega, than Alpha Alpha etc.
My chapter is the Alpha Tau of Beta Theta Pi, but we weren't founded in that order - in those days of the late 1880's, Beta would give the names of inactive chapters to new chapters as a way to conceal chapter death. The original Alpha Tau chapter was William and Mary - When they recolonized several years ago they were given the designation of AT ', like Alpha Tau Prime or something. Upon receiving their charter in August they were given the chapter designation Zeta Upsilon.
