RE: Theta Xi

Sigma Delta was a local fraternity founded at RPI in 1859. Dissention in the organization arose and approximately half left to form Theta Xi in 1864. The other half petitioned Sigma Phi for a charter but were denied. I am not sure if it folded or was the predecessor to Delta Phi, Zeta Psi, DKE or Chi Phi, all chartered at RPI shortly thereafter. Actually, Theta Xi was proposed to be called Theta Psi until they discovered a local group at Yale by the same name. Again, old Baird's are the main source for the above.
