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.

Yep, originally Sigma Kappa limited the number of members in a chapter to 25. As the number of women at Colby grew (they wanted to include all of them!) they added first Beta then Gamma chapter. Finally they decided to close Beta and Gamma and fold the membership into Alpha. (The chapters met together often anyway.)

See, this is why I think it's better for someone to do it alphabetically instead of a member of each sorority posting a list. You learn so many interesting things!!!

Exactly, stop all of this fussing and fidgeting.

Lets do it by letter. It would be more fun that way.
