AOII Angel, you are correct. In the early days, chapters selected their own designations representing special meaning to themselves. Designations could not repeat unless the previous chapter closed (as with our 3 Delta chapters...after the 3rd Delta chapter closed, no other chapter ever took the Delta designation as it became kind of a bad luck myth -- no maybe it wasn't a myth!).

Very cool. Do your chapter names still have special meanings?
