Two defunct Jewish sororities

Part of the reason for the confusion is that in the midst of the turmoil of the early 1970s, Tau Delta Phi was down to one remaining chapter at New York Polytechnic. Many chapters had just closed, Illinois merged with Pi Lambda Phi, Penn State merged with Tau Epsilon Phi and Lehigh became a chapter of Zeta Psi (there may be others that also merged with a stronger group on campus). The remaining chapter at NY Poly then began expanding around the New York City area, and there are now about a dozen or more chapters active, although I have never seen a list of their active chapters ever published.

In 1973, Tau Delta Phi had 18 active chapters after we rejected a merger from Alpha Epsilon Pi. No active chapters merged into Alpha Epsilon Pi. The remainder remained Tau Delta Phi and others found homes with other larger national fraternities. We have since re-emerged as a national fraternity and are an active member in the NIC. We have active chapters in PA, NJ, NY, and NH. We are also in a strong period of growth as we are aggressively expanding to reach our goal of becoming more modest in size.

And reportedly there's a new Tau Delta Phi colony at Penn State. Looks like it's made up in large part of men who were members of the Phi Delta Theta chapter that was recently closed, if I'm understanding the campus paper's April 7 '09 article correctly:

Our Illinois chapter is now Pi Lambda Phi.
