Sorry to make this complicated. . . .

So to use Chi Omega as an example, in the first post (founding) it would be Arkansas. For Alpha chapters it would be Washington. When it comes to Psi chapters a designation as the founding chapter could be noted as well.

I certainly appreciate all of the non-Chi Omegas trying to understand/explain our system for naming chapters -- believe me, there are plenty of Chi Omegas who can't understand it!

I'll try to make this simple:

Look at the Greek Alphabet from end to beginning (always leaving off Omega, as that is for deceased members). Psi is the first chapter...proceeding through single letters until Alpha.

Next, repeat the backwards alphabet again, this time using the second letter "Alpha" ...Psi Alpha, Chi Alpha...until Alpha Alpha.

Next group begins with Psi Beta, Chi Beta...until Beta Beta.

There are a few exceptions, but basically -- that's it!
