Interesting -- I was wondering if perhaps Kappa Sigma used "Omega Chapter" -- and because one of the Chi Omega founders was a Kappa Sig, that's where we got it.

FWIW, I've been asking for years when we're going to have some special designation for our dearly departed.

So for groups that have a special "chapter" designation, do they still list the member in their orignial collegiate chapter?

Ex) Jane Smith, Alpha Beta - Omega; or, Jane Smith, Omega

To be exact, Sigma Gamma Rho's deceased chapter is Omega Rho.

Tau Kappa Epsilon uses the Chapter Eternal designation for fraters who have passed away.

For us, we use both: John Smith - Alpha Beta, Omega

For AOII, you are ALWAYS listed as your initiation chapter. Alpha Omega chapter is purely a symbolic designation.

Chapter Eternal

I guess Gamma Phis affiliate with the Chapter Eternal but are designated by their initiating chapter - just as on this terrestrial plain a Gamma Phi is always identified by her chapter of initiation even if she affiliates with another.

We don't have a separate chapter for deceased members. We do refer to those men as having entered a "higher court."

I'm reading old DG magazines from the early 1900s and, apparently, we used to call it Chapter Grand. I wonder when we stopped using that terminology and why.

Slightly stepping out of my lane here, I'm almost positive that Kappa Alpha Psi uses "Chapter Invisible".
