Um, I was only teasing about this, everyone.

Haha no, I think you're right. A lot of Beta chapters don't exist anymore. I think Kappa's Beta chapter was at a school that closed. Hmm...

I'm working on making my list better-updated, but I believe Phi Sigma Kappa has 12 active, 11 inactive, and 1 seceded (Tau chapter at Dartmouth didn't think we were adjusting to the Civil Rights movement quickly enough and is a still-operational co-ed fraternity called "Phi Tau").

Our Alpha is still rockin away at UMass.
