I would suspect that AKA and APhiA have chapters at all Ivy League schools. In fact, the Alphas' Alpha Chapter was at Cornell. The process for colonising a NPHC group on campus is completely different from NPC--for example, the Harvard chapter of AKA is city-wide (MIT and Wellesley).

Beta no longer has a chapter at Brown. I have seen pictures of the house--it was beautiful, but torn down for a parking lot. During the 1950s, the administration was hard on the fraternities to get rid of their discrimination clauses, and Beta may have been a casualty of that. Also, there were events on campus during the 1940s to rival "Animal House". Pledges died, rival fraternities engaged in ice-pick fights, etc. In fact, the University built a large quadrangle to bring the houses on campus.

Beta Chapter of AOPi was at Pembroke College (the coordinate women's college of Brown). The administration of the college banned sororities before WWI because they were deemed anti-intellectual and elitist. Enough clubs existed until the women's college merged with the University in 1969 to duplicate the function of sorority life. Theta was also at Pembroke before that, but did not recolonize until the mid 1980s; the first two sororities at Brown were Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Kappa Alpha.

KDU/DU is currently inactive.

2003...Greek Life is pretty interesting here. I'm in a sorority, and it's not the center of my life; but I know plenty of people who socialize totally within certain groups. It's as big or negligible as you want it to be. The fraternities have parties, but so does everyone else. We're all pretty community service-minded; so being in a Greek group doesn't make you a major player in philanthropy here. Our most famous alums--Raymond Hood, JFK Jr, Ted Turner, Chris Berman--were all fraternity men.
