As far as the oldest chapters - I believe that would have to go to Lambda Chi and Tri-Delt. Although both left when all chapter were kicked off, both have their Alpha chapters at the school.

After checking in a couple of editions of Baird's, I believe that three sororities were established at BU before Tri Delta's Alpha chapter was founded: KKG (1882), A-Phi (1883), and GPhiB (1887).

Likewise, other fraternities were established at BU before Lambda Chi's Alpha chapter: Beta (1876), Theta Delta Chi (1877), Delt (1889), SAE (1892), and ZBT (1908). Some went through periods of inactivity even before the 1970s.

Great to hear that BU's Greek life is coming back so well.
