missing chapters

[beachie_keene]

Hello all!

I have been doing some research on the history of the NPC sororities, and in order to get anywhere I need to have a comprehensive list of all the chapters of each sorority. Currently I am still missing information on some of Sigma Delta Tau's chapters an was wondering if anyone could help. I have all the chapters through Delta Eta except:

Alpha Alpha
Alpha Gamma
Beta Mu
Beta Omicron
Beta Sigma
Beta Psi
Beta Omega

I'd appreciate any help you can give!

Those chapters no longer exist, hence the unavailability of any information on them.

If you look at the chapter directory on the website, all inactive chapters are listed besides the ones she asked for, which doesn't make sense to me

I have a couple of ideas. Those chapters could have been colonized, named, but never chartered, as the National site only lists Charted Chapters. I've looked at an alum directory from the year when the Alpha Beta Chapter was founded and no Alpha Alpha is listed.

Or

There is a possibility that the schools that those chapters were established no longer exist themselves. Many Colleges have closed over the years (more than I could have imagined) and during the time that SDT was rapidly expanding, colleges were being established left and right. They could simply no longer exist.

If you find out anything more about it, please let me know! I think it is really interesting...

Caryn, which chapters are you referring to here? Sorry, I can't seem to figure it out...

For instance, the Alpha Omicron chapter is closed and listed.

2 thoughts on that...

1--your chapter closed fairly recently, and i know that the website isn't kept up to date to the extent that it probably should be... maybe it is just an accident because it hasn't been updated yet? or are there other chapters that have closed some time ago and are still listed on the site as well?

2--your chapter didn't close for disciplinary reasons, so maybe that has something to do with why it is still listed? theorhetically, your chapter COULD reactivate at any time... so maybe that is part of the consideration in including a chapter on the list...

very interesting, though, regardless...
