Ivy Chapters

DU has had chapters at many schools mentioned.

Williams (our founding chapter) 1834-1862. 1883-1965 chapter became Garfield House when Fraternities banned, Williams Administration is dead set against allowing Greeks back on, the administration also claims students don't want Greek life, I'd like to see an indepedent survey done, I'd bet 20-30 % of students would join. I'm sure DU would devote resources to a revival if allowed.

Amherst 1847-1862, 1870-1970,chapter went local as Delta Upsilon Delta until Amherst forced Fraternities off campus in 1984, I don' think DUD stayed on, off campus ,as did X Psi, PSI U etc.

Wesleyan 1850-1852, revived 1919 from Omega Phi local, withdrew in 1953 over dispute about initiating an African American, local Delta Sigma 1953-1967, joined KA (northern branch) 1967-1980 went local as Omega Kappa Alpha 1908-? now inactive?.

Middlebury 1856-1991 closed when school made chapters coed, may still exist as local off campus.

Colby 1858-1861, 1878-1984 school banned fraternity membership under pain of expulsion, chapter closed.

Bowdoin 1859-1861, 1892-1952 left DU due to dispute over initiating an afro american. Existed as Delta Sigma local until 1998 when administration closed fraternities.

Swarthmore 1891- present.

Northwestern 1880 -present

Colgate 1865-present

Chicago 1901-present

Stanford 1896-1987 closed due to hazing & raising hell, revival attepted 1994-1996, possible revival being looked at.

I don't think students at these colleges are as anti greek as the Prof's & administration. The tide will switch back, look at Princeton and Harvard at the current time. The good GLO's will prosper, old line organizations DU, Zeta Psi, ADPHI, etc better not assume a revival in Greek interest on these campi will automatically result in revival of their oldest chapters just because of their historic strenghth. Sig Ep is a good example of a newer GLO increasing market share and quality.
