Typically it is a chapter that has become dormant (inactive). Oftentimes, it has re-colonized or re-established.
Our sorority does not use it but many others do

So was the Iota Chapter of ASA absorbed by Pi Phi? Just curious.

The official wording is that the chapter was "released" to PBP. I'm assuming that means that the ASA chapter became a Pi Phi chapter, rather than being absorbed into an already existing Pi Phi chapter at the college. If someone from Pi Phi posts, we can probably figure it out.

It's really a little more complicated than that...

TECHNICALLY, those are our "single letter chapters." However, the question NBH was really asking was how many of our oldest chapters are still active, since the oldest chapters in a GLO are usually only designated with one letter.
In our first years, we established the above chapters plus:
Gamma Beta Sigma, St. Mary's (NC) 1909-1910
Kappa Phi, Mt Union 1909-1914
Sigma Phi Epsilon, Brenau 1909-1914
Chi Iota, Hamilton (DC) 1909-1912
Kappa Phi & spe were both released to Tri-Delta in 1914. (Kappa Phi chapter was recolonized in around 2001 and closed in 2004.) Many of the above schools no longer have Greek systems.
ASA reorganized in 1914 with the following 4 chapters:
Alpha - Longwood (still open)
Alpha Alpha - Miami of Ohio (closed)
Alpha Beta - Truman State (still open, oldest continuous)
Alpha Gamma - Indiana U of PA
Our next chapters all were double letters - so instead of having single letter chapters, we really have the 4 above (the only ones allowed to use Alpha at the beginning) and 23 doubles.
Open:
Beta Beta - U of Northern Colorado
Gamma Gamma - Northwestern State U (Oklahoma)
Epsilon Epsilon - Emporia State
Zeta Zeta - Central MO State
Eta Eta - Pittsburg State
Nu Nu - Drexel U
Phi Phi - Northwest MO State
Psi Psi - Northwestern State U (Louisiana)
Closed:
Delta Delta - Ohio U
Theta Theta - Boston U
Iota Iota - Drake U
Kappa Kappa - Temple
Lambda Lambda - Ohio State
Mu Mu - Eastern Michigan U
Xi Xi - UCLA
Omicron Omicron - Kent State
Pi Pi - SUNY-Buffalo
Rho Rho - Marshall U
Sigma Sigma - Western State College (Colorado)
Tau Tau - Fort Hays State
Upsilon Upsilon - Denison U
Chi Chi - Ball State
Omega Omega - San Diego State

I agree. The same holds true with KD and, from what irishpipes posted, AOII as well.
For instance, KD's Kappa Alpha chapter is 16 years older than our Tau chapter.

What about Gamma Beta Sigma, St. Mary's? Do you know anything about them? Were they an official chapter?

The first time I saw that Chapter Designation on our roster it kinda took me aback. I was thinking, "Did an entire chapter of SPhiE get sex changes and we let them keep their fraternity name as a Chapter Desgination?". Yes, I realize that all happened way before sex changes, etc - but it was a random off the wall thought.
