oldest continuous chapter

I'm pretty sure I learned during new member ed that DZ's Alpha chapter has never been closed, which would make it the oldest, since it was founded in 1902.

The first three chapters of Alpha Delta Pi were closed because all three schools banned Greek Life.

Our oldest chapter, Delta, just initiated a descendant of one of our founders! Can you imagine having roughly EIGHT or NINE generations of legacies?!?!?

Technically, Truman is our 15th charter, but it is actually one of the four "Alpha chapters" from our reorganization in 1914. Many of the first 14 (other than Alpha) were located at schools that no longer have Greek life or were released to other sororities.

That's awesome! Is there an online article somewhere? I'd love to read more details.

AOII's founding chapter at Barnard College/Columbia University closed when Greek life was banned. Alpha Epsilon Phi was also founded there and closed for the same reason.
