A history of the end: My experiences in Gamma Zeta and the final years.

[JoinerLxa]

KA Society and KA order have no historical connection
with each other....just a coincidence they have the
same name.

KAS chose to remain small (about 1 or 2 dozen active
chapters I think?? no national HQ) and only expanded
in the NE and Canda....I don't think they ever had "policy" of "no southern chapters"...just a policy
of "no more chapters anywhere".

KAO was founded as a southern fraternity that USED
to limit itself to the south, but they have a few
northern chapters now. Just read an article about
KA at Purdue Univ. in northern IN.

P.S. Just checked out their web pages:

KA Order (Southern) has 1 chapter in NJ (Princeton)
and a handful in OH and IN (which are half populated
by x-southerners anyway)

KA Soc. only has 10 active chapters (5 are in
Canada), with four listed as closed.

Interestingly enough:
- Princeton Univ seems to have an active chapter of
BOTH KAS and KAO
- There used to be a KAS (northern) chapter at
U of VA, definitely below the Mason-Dixon

But KAS can still claim to be the oldest general fraternity
still in existence!
