This is a great thread!
ADPi started with Alpha through Omega, then Alpha Alpha, etc. They're now on Eta Omega and the next chapter (hope we get some new chapters soon!) would be Theta Alpha.
They were founded slightly out of order originally, since the early colonies were given letter designations before they were formally chartered/initiated... Now I think they're just the _University_ Colony of ADPi until chartering and initiation, when they get whatever's next in the alphabet. Recolonizations get the original university chapter name without any change.
While I, as a local sorority alum initiate, was initiated directly into my college chapter, alumnae initiates since 2001 are apparently initiated into Omega Alpha chapter, but those who were in locals that went ADPi can request affiliation with their college's ADPi chapter.
As far as hyphenated chapters go, MysticCat didn't mention the one Sinfonia chapter that *is* hyphenated: Eta Omicron. The Eta chapter at Cincinnati College of Music and the Omicron chapter at Cincinnati Conservatory of Music ended up merging when the schools merged, so there's no Eta Omicron chapter, and no Eta or Omicron by themselves.
