One fact that I always found interesting about Zeta Tau Alpha is that we officially have two Beta chapters. Richmond Women's College was our first Beta chapter, now called Beta (old). This chapter was actually opperated sub-rosa and unfortunately didn't stay active very long. Our second Beta chapter, now called Beta (new), was opened at Judson College in Marion, Alabama, on March 16, 1905. Unfortunately, this chapter was only active for fourteen years. "Thus both of Zeta's Beta chapters - the short-lived Original Beta and the Judson grouop, upon whom was bestowed the designation of the extinct first Beta chapter - suffered extinction because of administrative disapproval of fraternities." (taken from The History of Zeta Tau Alpha)

This thread is great! I probably won't be able to contribute much, but I'm still interested.

PS, Theta Phi's website has a list of all open & closed chapters, in the order in which they were founded, with the year & Greek letter designation if anyone is trying to tackle a letter without Baird's. I noticed a couple innaccuracies as far as chapter's that were closed within the last ten years or so, but I'll just try to point those out if we get that far into the alphabet.

Not to be nitpicky, but the dates are definitely off for Beta. I have a copy of the first issue of the Alpha Sigma Alpha Magazine from 1906 and under chapter info it says that Beta initiated women in 1906, which means that there is no way that it was closed in 1904.

Thanks Leslie Ann for the info on Kappa Delta! I'm just going to post the Gamma Chapters and I'll edit in Phi Mu's chapter later if I get it.

Yup, when they reopened the USC chapter they named it Alpha Nu instead. I'm not sure why they didn't call them Delta chapter again, but the single letters were definitely not done in a logical order (ie, Alpha, Beta...). Maybe the second USC was a different local and they wanted to honor that? If I find out why, I'll post again. Or maybe one of the other DGs here knows.

Leslie Anne, I like how you formatted your post. Very easy to read.

IIRC, Sigma Kappa's first three chapters all being at Colby had something to do with limiting the initial chapter size to so many members.

I have read it, I love history. I don't know how I missed the part about Pi Phi, I think I'd seen so many references over the years to them being the Iowa Gamma chapter that I didn't even think about it.

Hi. The Delta chapter of Phi Mu at Tulane was recolonized last year.

According to the same timeline linked above (and the Bairds on Google Books), the first Delta chapter of Delta Delta Delta was founded at Iowa State University, but due to campus unrest, did not last long. They are known as Omega Delta now. But a proper History as published by Tri Delta would be the best source.

Kappa Kappa Gamma – Indiana University 1872 apparently active, but I can’t for the life of me figure out which campus

The Delta chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma (our oldest continual chapter) is on the main campus at Bloomington.

In the "History of Delta Delta Delta 1888-1988", Iowa State is listed as being open as the Delta Chapter from 1980-1982. The chapter was reestablished in 1912. Tri Delta was petitioned by a local sorority called Omega Delta and since Delta was now Simpson College; they were allowed to keep the local name. Simpson's chapter was installed as Delta Deuteron in 1897 but was changed when the Iowa State chapter closed.
