Smallest percentage of charters active?

Not every NPHC org has that many chapters. DST & AKA have the most and Iota Phi Theta has the least with over 300 chapters, but they are also the youngest org. We count both UG's & Alumnae in that chapter count, we do the same things so I guess I don't see a difference in that regard.

There are tons of elements in there, too, citywide chapters that split, schools that had a chapter and now don't, combined chapters (UG & Alumni/Alumnae) that split up, defunct grad chapters...That's a lot of history and math that I'm not messing with!

I. Am. Dying.

Good to know that 36 years ago, Chi Omega had the fewest closed chapters.

(I know you prefaced your post that it wasn't current info, but LOL!)

Don't die, blue... you're in the History Forum.

FWIW, I pulled the most up to date Kappa chapter listing from our website and saved it in a spreadsheet. In our history, we have chartered 162 chapters, and 22 of those are inactive, which is about 13.6%. We will soon be chartering THREE new chapters at Wichita State, Georgetown, and Elmhurst.

I have no idea how this compares to any other NPC or how to get any other NPC's info, but I was trying to provide current info for Cheerio's claim.

If anyone wants the spreadsheet, PM me.

Just stating in advance that I don't have the full numbers for all NPC sororities. Numbers are from (inter)national websites if possible. Otherwise from Irishpipes' thread A lot of NPC sororities don't openly name inactive chapters, so information may not be up to date or severely incorrect. Please post correct information if this list isn't accurate, and I'll update.

You're awesome for tackling this! DG's is 146/190 (source is our chapter list of every DG chapter ever in our forum).

I guess I need another cup of coffee....I don't understand what the penultimate figure means....For example, Tri-Sigma: 112/189 = 77 chapters closed. But what does the 40 signify? Also, 74% of 189 = 140, not 112.

I hate to rain on the Alpha Phi parade, but I used CTRL+F to search through IrishPipes' list of chapters and roughly counted 49 closed Alpha Phi chapters. It's definitely more than 7.

I also think it's more like 159 chapters open.

[ADPiEE]

Kind of regretting asking my question...I didn't mean to turn this into an NPC thread. I figured the least amount closed would be a NPHC

But our NPHC GC'ers who posted were all "yeah, I'm not feeling figuring that out," so those of us posting go with what we know. Just because we're talking NPC, it doesn't mean that we're not interested in hearing from other councils. I'd be interested in hearing about all the councils.

[Missouri Ivy]

I know the Alpha Phi number is wrong because my chapter was #175, and that was back in 1990. I also think the current number active is 159. Just quickly singing the Greek alphabet, I'm estimating around 50 closed chapters for us.

[ASTalumna06]

This link below might help a little bit with AST. It's from 2005, but it will give you a list of the active/inactive chapters at that point. I think the only inactive chapter that's been re-installed is Iota (Emporia State University in Kansas).

Of course, other chapters may have been opened/closed in addition to those listed. I can't look through this right now, but I figured this would help if you got to it before I did.

In Europe, it's common to use commas for decimal points.

Yes! Sorry, have been doing 4 years worth of stats in European schools and always have to use the , instead of . now to avoid confusion. I'll change it.
