Chapter naming

[TechAPhi]

Alpha Phi chapters are named in alphabetical order as they are incorporated. Thus...

Alpha (Syracuse University), our founding chapter, through the Greek alphabet to Omega (University of Texas).

There is only one collegiate chapter that begins with "Alpha" and that is our very first chapter at Syracuse. So we have no "Alpha Alpha" chapter, for example.
Instead, after the first 24 (Alpha through Omega), we began at Beta Alpha (University of Illinois), our 25th chapter.

Interesting side note: All Alpha Phi chapters are named in order of the Greek alphabet except the Eta chapter at Boston University. This chapter should have been Gamma--or the third chapter--but was incorporated as the Eta chapter because it had seven founding members and Eta is the seventh letter of the Greek alphabet.
