Oldest chapter in continual operation

[TSteven]

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.
