I always thought this as a good story. How Pi Kappa Alpha came to the University of Florida in 1904:
"On a clear, cool November night a week before Thanksgiving in 1904, the new Head Football Coach at the University of Florida surrounded himself with a carefully selected assembly of young men. They gathered on the second floor of the old Blue Goose Inn in Lake City for the purpose of founding a chapter of Coach Marvin O. Bridges's college fraternity: Pi Kappa Alpha. Bridges, an initiate of Rho Chapter at Cumberland University , is the father of modern football at the University. That night of November 17th, 1904, Coach Bridges organized and inspired the eleven undergraduates who were to form the core of Alpha Eta Chapter. The fellowship included Bridges's two younger brothers Bernard ‘04 and Benjamin '04. Bernard was Captain of Florida's football team."

my chapter was founded at hunter college but was then expanded to all the colleges in the NYC area. thats all for now, but if you think chapter operations are hectic for just one school, imagine for 100+ colleges!

This is the history of my chapter, though unfortunately Alpha Alpha is now defunct at Oklahoma.

LOL, just look at some of the bigger NIC GLOs and then think about it?
But, 100 + is also very tough to run and depending how far across the country they are makes it even tougher doesint it?
