I think Phi Mu's oldest continuously open chapter is Kappa (1908) at Tennessee, ZTA's is Epsilon (1903) at Arkansas, and Chi O's is Rho (1900) at Tulane.

AnchorAlumna, the ADPi founder with the long line of legacies is Ella Pierce Turner. I tried to locate an article, but wasn't able to find one. Her original badge has remained in the family and has been used to initiate many generations of her legacies.

What a wonderful family tradition! None of AOII's founders have any family passing their badges down the generations. All of the founding badges are in our International archives. They are all beautiful by the way!

Our oldest chapter is our Epsilon chapter at the University of Arkansas which was founded in 1903.

ZTA's first few chapters closed because the school banned Greek Life. Our Alpha chapter reopened when the school received accredidation of sorts.

Delta Zeta's Alpha chapter has not had a continuous existance. According to the national history it was not functioning from 1905 until 1908. The Zeta Tau Alpha chapter at Arkansas was inactive from 1938 until 1947.

That's a shame! Somebody ought to write one...perhaps for the sorority magazine...and the NPC magazine.

Was Chi O's chapter at Arkansas (where they were founded) closed at some point?

The Alpha, Beta, and Gamma chapters of Sigma Kappa were all at Colby College and are closed because Colby banned Greek Life.
