This is what I remember hearing about Minnesota...
Colonizers had planned on starting the chapter for several years before it was actually established. Gamma was reserved for the chapter because of the school's fondness for the letter "G" (Golden Gophers). However, the powers-that-be didn't extend the same courtesy to Alpha Beta (U of Illinois) who requested to be the Psi chapter (Psi looking similar to the UI's logo). Of course, I heard this from a AB alum
