I'm curious about KD, AOII and others that don't name their chapters in order. Is there a logic to it?

I know AOIIs are allowed to pick their chapter designation, along with some other groups.

ETA: Also, some groups like DPhiE, do it in this order:

Alpha, Beta, Gamma .. Omega

Delta Alpha, Delta Beta ..
Phi Alpha, Phi Beta ..
Epsilon Alpha, Epsilon Beta ..

and back to Alpha Alpha, etc.

AOII chapters are named by the colonizing sisters of that chapter and they usually hold a special meaning for those sisters. I love it!

Our chapter's names are also our sub-mottos. I think we are the only sorority to have sub-mottos for each chapter. For example, Theta Beta stands for "True Bonds of Sisterhood", Lambda Tau stands for "Loyalty Together" and Lambda Epsilon stands for "Live elegantly, laugh easily, love eternally."

Psi Upsilon is the same way. The individual chapters select their own designation, usually based on a chapter motto, though I do know some chapters that chose the letters for some other reason and make up a motto to fit them.
