Maybe because Chi O is still there? Or maybe because even though Phi Sig was a "national" organization at the time, we did not join the NPC until 1951? That might be a technicality though, because even if we weren't NPC at the time, we're still the first NPC group, right? Not sure. It's 2:30AM, so I'm not thinking straight...

I do know we chartered there in April of 1921 and I believe the chapter was there until 1972. Our past Grand Archon Judith Distler was from Zeta chapter and graduated in 1968.

Thanks for the verification, Russ! I was worried our chapter roll and our little happy fact was all wrong!

ETA: I noticed on the UCLA history timeline that only chapters who are still active at the UCLA campus are represented (at least, that's how it was for NPC groups - 11 currently active and 11 represented on the timeline). I am SURE there have been more than those 11 NPC groups recognized on UCLA's campus at one time or another, and they're not on the timeline.

For another example (aside from Phi Sig), one of my sisters was an legacy to Alpha Chi Omega, which her mother was a member of at UCLA. But there's no mention of Alpha Chi Omega ever being there, at least not on the greek timeline i saw. Also, Sigma Delta Tau lists UCLA as their Lambda chapter, but they're also not mentioned on the timeline...

There is also a little sidenote about how they're working to compile histories, and there may be inaccuracies. Whoever is working on the project may just be going off the information available, i.e. if Chi O prides itself on being the oldest chapter on campus, then assume that's accurate. Just a guess though... that would be very sad if we had been there all that time and had never been recognized!! I am going to email CO about it, but TriDeltaGal, if you hear back before I do, please let me know!
