Geographical Breadth of early expansion?
For Alpha Phi Omega, I've always found it fascinating that due to the support of the Boy Scouts of America that our first chapters are as spread out as they are. Our first six chapters include a chapter in an Atlantic Coast state (Pennsylvania), a Gulf Coast state (Alabama) and a Pacific Coast state (California).
However most of the Social Fraternities and Sororities seem to have had their first few chapters much more compact. I know that some of it is that especially for the pre-civil war fraternities, that there just were many colleges in the Western half of the US. But do any of the NIC/NPC/NPHC fraternities founded prior to 1950 have that sort of geographic breadth among their first half dozen or so chapters?
