Rechartering and Chapter Name
Which groups change the name of a chapter when it is recolonized after leaving campus for a while?
For example, Zeta chapter is on campus, and leaves. 5 years later they come back, and now they are Zeta Deuteron.
Pi Beta Phi does not do this.

Phi Mu does not do this, either. Our Chi Chapter was reinstalled last year.
I can see where the idea comes from -- a fresh start, I'm guessing.

Alpha Delta Pi uses the same chapter designation for a chapter recolonizing, too.

Theta uses Deuteron after a chapter name.........or they have in the past, though I'm thinking with our latest chapter that has returned to a campus I dont think Deuteron is after their name......but I could be wrong. if any Thetas out there read this please feel free to correct me.

Alpha Chi Omega just uses the regular chapter name if a chapter is rechartered. I know cause my chapter closed in 1969 and was refounded in 1980 and we're still just Beta Lambda.

In APO, the same chapter letters are used, no Deuteron.
In APhiA, SOMETIMES brand new chapter letters are given after a chapter has been dechartered. For example, our Delta Chapter at the University of Toronto was reassigned to Houston-Tillotson College in Texas. When University of Toronto finally got members again, they became Sigma Iota Chapter.

In Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, a recolonized chapter uses the same letters as given in the original charter -- no deuteron or other distinguishing designation.
I think from what I've seen in materials Ms. MysticCat has that Kappa Kappa Gamma does use deuteron to indicate a rechartered chapter. (I'm sure a Kappa can and will correct me if I'm wrong about that.)

ZTA uses the same chapter name. If the chapter is never reinstated, those letters are never used again - as new chapters open, we just keep moving through the Greek alphabet.

LXA also uses the original chapter designation as well.
Which is good, because my home chapter is rechartering soon, and will retain their original name, so I still have a "home" to return to for homecoming.

Chapters that are recolonized now do not take the deuteron designation.
As far as I know, the only chapters designated deuteron are Gamma deuteron (Ohio Wesleyan) and Phi Deuteron (Stanford). In both cases, the original letter chapter (Gamma and Phi) were nearby geographically, so I think maybe the new (deuteron) chapter was considered to be an extension of the original chapter.
If Santa grants my wish and I get my Theta history books for Christmas I'll let you know more details.
In general, recolonized chapters of Kappa Alpha Theta re-take their original designation, like Beta Upsilon at British Columbia!

AEPhi uses the same chapter name without a distinction. As with ZTA, if a chapter closes and is never reopened, that chapter designation is never used again.

Alpha Phi uses Deuteron when the chapter is rechartered
