Interesting chapter history
I found this while I was looking for something else. This is from the digital archive page at the DePauw University website. It's unusual (IMO) to have a reinstated chapter formed from a local. Might that have been a phenomenon in the early 20th century? Any others done that way?
"The Eta chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta was first established on the DePauw University campus in 1908. The original chapter lasted only 9 years, closing in 1917. During the 1923-24 school year Phi Sigma Delta, a local sorority, obtained a charter from Alpha Gamma Delta and the chapter was re-established at 202 S. Indiana St....In 1962 the sorority relocated to its final location at 436 Anderson Street until its closing 1993. The property was transferred to the Putnam County Foundation at the end of 1996. In May 1998 DePauw bought the house from the Foundation."
(What is the university using the house for? Might it revert to being a chapter house?)
