I was like, when did it change it's name?

Oh, yesterday, there was a press conference. That Biondi, you never know what he's going to do.

Sorry about changing the name of St. Louis University -- should have known better. The SLU chapter of Kappa Beta Gamma was the first to be installed after the original founders at Marquette decided to expand and become a national in 1947. In 1975 it withdrew and took the name Kappa Beta Phi. In 1989 it became a chapter of Alpha Delta Pi. That became the fourth name the group has had, as it was originally a local sorority founded in 1928 under the name Delta Epsilon Phi. (The source of the above is St. Louis University and Alpha Delta Pi historical records.)

As I stated earlier the latest change of affiliation from a small national to a larger and stronger one is certainly not the first, nor will it be the last. It has happened many times. At Kent State University SEVEN chapters of AES sororities all left their nationals over a period of a few years to become NPC chapters, most shopping for a new national while still operating as a chapter of their former national. I doubt that any of the AES national organizations were encouraging this action.

So that situation doesn't really have anything to do with these because you're looking at a period of 14 years between withdrawal from KBG and affiliation with ADPi.
