LXA early on was a funny way to start.
Alpha of course is Boston Un. but, the first actual chapter was Gamma, Un. Mass. (Mass. Agricultural College)

When letters were sent to schools, they were given a designation even if they did not accept the invitation.

After that Alpha designations came into being as chapters were insituted.

In the 1939 merger of TKN into LXA their chapters were given designations that started with Theta, Kappa, and Nu. TKN used State and Letter designation.

Colonys used be given Letter designations and are now give numbers until chartering.
