decadence explained it very well!
Maybe a little easier to understand is that some Greek Organizations say go in to a State:
New York-Alpha, NY Beta, NY Gamma, etc.
Some as decadence said go by the Greek Alphabet letters, Alphia, Beta, Gamma etc. as they are Inititiated into said Greek Organization, when the single letters of the alphabet were used, they then went to Alpha-Alpha, Alpha-Beta, etc.
With Lambda Chi Alpha that is the way we do it with some exceptions. When the Fraternity was first started in 1909 communicatins were tough. When in 1939, TKN merged with LXA, Letter designations were added to denote TKN Chapters using Tau, Kappa,or Nu + finishing designations.
When we have a Chapter leave campuses for some reason, and they are re-colonized they still keep that Chapter designation.
