OK maybe I just got confused by the history on the website. Here's the paragraph copied from there:
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. was organized on November 12, 1922 in Indianapolis, Indiana by seven school teachers: Mary Lou Allison Little, Dorothy Hanley Whiteside, Vivian White Marbury, Nannie Mae Gahn Johnson, Hattie Mae Dulin Redford, Bessie M. Downey Martin and Cubena McClure. The group became an incorporated national collegiate sorority on December 30, 1929, when a charter was granted to Alpha chapter at Butler University.
When I read that, I thought it meant that the chapter at Butler U was not established until 1929, even though the sorority had been created 7 years earlier. Did I read wrong?
