B U. did close out all Greeks.
LXA Founded there in 1909.
Looks like, and I might be wrong, they reopened to Greeks in 1970.

I'm bored at work and found this.
Sigma Nu's oldest continuing would be Beta at U. of Virginia (1871). Alpha was at VMI.
As a side note, I visited Kansas chapter (Nu 1884) back when I was in college. I was soooooo blown away when I walked into the formal dining area and the walls were all lined with Composites going back to the 1800's. Just wow..... (Hope they get their charter back soon  )

Wow, that's from Today. And they are taking the house back from Alpha Gamma Delta, who was probably in it for less then 2 years. Yipes, I bet they hardly had time to unpack.

Sigma Chi's oldest continous chapter is Lambda, University of Indiana, est. 1858. It was the 6th charter issued.
And, for those who notice, no, Lambda is not the 6th letter (it's the 11th). Sigma Chi skipped every other greek letter when establishing their charters. Their big rival at Miami was Beta Theta Pi and our founders did not want a chapter with "Beta" as its designation. After chartering the Psi chapter, Sigma Chi went back and filled in the rest of the letters.

And still left "Beta" to last - as in last single letter. Ironically, Beta (College of Wooster) is inactive (since 1913) due to the college's ban of national fraternities.

I guess if Eta of Sigma Chi wouldn't have had to close in the 1920s because Ole Miss lost their rankings in the college world, they would be the oldest continually open chapter since Eta was founded in 1857.
