Prior to 1890, chapters that were established after a previous chapter had folded were given that chapter's designation letter. Then, at the 1890 convention, it was determined the second chapters would use the letter Beta to preface the chapter letter to show they were the second chapter of that letter and closed chapter letters would not be re-used. Chapters that were closed and then later reinstated use the designation "Deuteron" (a small delta set superscript to the letter) for the Greek term meaning "second".

Six of our early chapters are no longer active. All chapters that were reinstated are still active.
