missing chapters

[paulam]

This is in response to beach-keene's request for information on chapter names for SDT. I am a long-time alum and this is what I was told about some of these names:

Alpha Alpha never used
Alpha Gamma was skipped because of Alpha Gamma Delta sorority (someone thought it would be too confusing)
Beta Sigma chapter was at Herbert H. Lehman college in NY (inactive)

You can contact Ann Braly (abraly@sdt.com) at the National Office for further information.

Hey Paula, welcome to GC! It's great to have another Sig Delt around!

Do you know why Alpha Alpha was never used? As for Alpha Gamma, I've never heard of any other sorority skipping it, but I guess it makes some sense.

Beta Sigma was probably closed during the 1970's sweep of all Greeks from CUNY campuses, but it seems odd to me that it isn't listed. Do you have any info on the others?

I do not have information on any of the other unlisted chapter names for SDT. The best source will be the national office (abraly@sigmadeltatau.com). The national website lists all chapters whether active or inactive (in two separate listings) and there is no mention of these chapter names.

We just had our 43rd year reunion...eveyone looks fantastic (buy stock in Clairol!) and had wonderful stories and pictures to share.

Fraternally,
