Oldest chapter in continual operation

[g41965]

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.
