Kappa Delta's longest continuing chapter is the Zeta chapter at the University of Alabama.

DU and Beta long expanded to the same parts of the country, Beta is a an old line group, it doesn't suprise me that the oldest chapter is a a Beta group.
The 150 year history of DU reports that in the late 19th century Beta and DKE were considered to be the strongest competitors to DU, Beta in the midwest and Deke in New England.
One of the reasons DU expanded in the late 19th century was to
keep up with larger groups like Beta, Fiji and Phi Delt.

Harvard's chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, Alpha of Massachusetts, was chartered in 1779. It merged with the Radcliffe chapter in 1995 and is now known as Alpha Iota of Massachusetts.

It is the oldest continuously operating chapter of any Greek-letter group. I'm very proud to be a member.

Delta Chapter - University of Texas (1906)

(Alpha, Beta & Gamma chapters were all on campuses where there is no longer a Greek system)

i would guess that our oldest continuous chapter is epsilon chapter at the university of arkansas.

in order to be eligible for membership in the intersorority conference(now npc) sororities could only have chapters in institutions of full college or university rank. since our alpha chapter was founded at what was then a teachers college, zta had to relinquish alpha chapter.in 1909, zta became the 13th member of the intersorority conference. happily, in 1949 zta was able to reactivate alpha chapter.

beta, gamma and delta chapters were all founded at women's
colleges, which no longer allow sororities.
