Most NPC groups on any campus

[TSteven]

There may be others, but as far as I can recall, there are (at least) nine other national organizations that at one time belonged to the NPC. All of which either disbanded or merged with/were acquired by another NPC organization.

Alpha Delta Theta
Beta Phi Alpha
Beta Sigma Omicron
Delta Sigma Epsilon
Iota Alpha Pi
Phi Omega Theta
Pi Kappa Sigma
Theta Sigma Upsilon
Theta Upsilon

So if you were to add these nine to the current twenty-six NPC organizations, I wonder which campuses would have had the most chapters out of thirty-five (26 current NPCs plus 9 former NPCs).

Über Wow!

Anyone with a Bairds would be appreciated!

I've got almost all of them. (1 to 4 and 10 to 20) I can do some checking if you'd like.


Anyone know the years for any of those 9 organizations. That would really help!

Acording to Baird's 20th ed., in 1991:

Alpha Delta Theta: 1919 - 1939 (entered NPC 1926)
Beta Phi Alpha: 1919 - 1941
Beta Sigma Omicron: 1888 - 1964
Delta Sigma Epsilon: 1914 - 1956
Phi Omega Pi: 1910 - 1946
Pi Kappa Sigma: 1894 - 1959
Theta Sigma Upsilon: 1921 - 1959
Theta Upsilon: 1914 - 1962

Beat me to it.

ETA: I think the reason I have earlier dates is becuase both Beta Phi Alpha and Theta Upsilon had some incarnations as "clubs" prior to becoming a sorority and taking on letters.

Hi irishpipes. I haven't forgotten you; besides the Beta Phi Alpha and Theta Upsilon chapter rolls that I've already PM'd to you, I'm working on the ones for Delta Sigma Epsilon and Phi Omega Pi. Those two may be a little on the "best I can do with the information I have" side, but I'm plugging away in Baird's editions and some other sources. Shouldn't be too long.
