Anyone know the years for any of those 9 organizations. That would really help!

Acording to Baird's 20th ed., in 1991:

Alpha Delta Theta: 1919 - 1939 (entered NPC 1926)
Beta Phi Alpha: 1919 - 1941
Beta Sigma Omicron: 1888 - 1964
Delta Sigma Epsilon: 1914 - 1956
Phi Omega Pi: 1910 - 1946
Pi Kappa Sigma: 1894 - 1959
Theta Sigma Upsilon: 1921 - 1959
Theta Upsilon: 1914 - 1962

Beat me to it.

ETA: I think the reason I have earlier dates is becuase both Beta Phi Alpha and Theta Upsilon had some incarnations as "clubs" prior to becoming a sorority and taking on letters.

TSteven, you're right, of course. There's a lot of detail about some of the sororities founded at Berkeley in a thread started by oldu here in the Greek Life forum: "Delta Zeta at the University of California," I believe.

If you add the defunct groups to the list:

1 32 University of Illinois **
2 29 University of California, Los Angeles
Miami University
4 28 Ohio State University
5 27 Pennsylvania State University
Syracuse University
7 26 University of California, Berkley
Indiana University

** It could be 33 because Delta Sigma Epsilon had a colony at Illinois when the merger with Delta Zeta took place. I don't know if it was chartered first or was just absorbed in as pledges. Maybe someone can shed some light.

As a Penn State Alum, can I also add that we do not have currently
-Alpha Sigma Tau (except at PSU Altoona)
-Theta Phi Alpha (except at PSU Berks)
-Delta Phi Epsilon
-Phi Sigma Sigma
-Alpha Gamma Delta

I just graduated in May but, if you look at the Penn State NPC site you will notice it looks as though we have more NPCs because we allowed Alpha Phi Omega's sister sorority Omega Phi Alpha join us, along with Phi Sigma Rho (engineering sorority) and I think Gamma Sigma Sigma joined, as well. We used to have all of the above sororities at Penn State (I looked through some old yearbooks in our sorority suite and saw we did) but, because of low membership in some of them-they were dissolved on our campus....I would like to see all of them come back to Penn State (University Park), though.....we have too many chapters struggling (numbers wise) because only a small percentage of PSU is Greek (like 11% of the entire campus)....
