I guessed that answer before checking my answer... and interesting enough my NM manual (from 03) only has 7 listed... odd isn't it. Although the list I have is only ACTIVE chapters...that could be why? But all of the other years only have 1-3 chapters opening...

You are right, Berlee! It's wild that happened during WWI isn't it?

Delta Alpha, UT-Chattanooga
Zeta Alpha, The Ohio State Univ.
Beta Alpha, UPenn
Psi Beta, Univ. of Iowa
Chi Beta, Purdue
Epsilon Alpha, Univ. of Oklahoma
Phi Beta, Univ. of Pittsburgh

The two additional chapters you didn't see listed were at Swarthmore College (PA) and Hollins College (VA) which both did away with their Greek Systems in later years.

I'm going to guess........ d. I think I'm wrong but it would be neat if he had paid for it! haha

Actually, believe it or not -- it's one of the only things I can think of that has gone DOWN in price 100 years later! In 1907, the subscription price was one dollar a year. Today, the magazine is mailed to all collegians and alumnae with good addresses -- free of charge!
