I believe that our Delta chapter at Adelphi has been in continuous operation since it was founded in 1916... I could be wrong, though.

I believe our oldest continually running chapter would have to be at W&J, Fiji's Alpha since 1848

Our Delta chapter at University of Minnesota was founded in February 1908, Epsilon chapter at University of Kentucky was founded in May 1908, and Zeta chapter at Ohio University was founded in June 1908.
I would strongly suspect that one of them is our oldest in continual operation - I am fairly certain that none of those 3 chapters has ever closed.

I've always heard from friends (and a cousin) who were initiated in Epsilon (UK) that Epsilon is the second oldest Alpha Gamma Delta chapter in continuous operation. If so, and I have no reason to doubt them, then it looks like Delta would be the oldest chapter in continuous operation.

Would a chapter that either reorganized or is recolonize - yet never closed per say (i.e. the charter is never pulled) - be considered as continuous?
If there are any hold over members, then of course the chapter is still active. What I wounder about is something along this line.
A chapter has all their current active members (i.e. still attending the college) go alum at the end of say the spring 2007 semester. Then in the fall of 2007, there is a new pledge class and members.

AOII's oldest in continual operation would be our fourth chapter, Omicron. Omicron was founded at the University of Tennessee on April 14, 1902.

i'm guessing our oldest on campus would be Psi U - it's existed continuously here since 1843, the university opened in 1831. The next oldest is Alpha Delt, 1856.
