Simply for your villification - most likely the 3Ds didn't so much 'die off' at BU as get booted - every chapter here had a short period of being inactive, as the school briefly eliminated greek life some years back (think 70s). Only one chapter - SAE - kept charter, if i recall correctly, and they've been sub rosa ever since.

This also explains why LXA's Alpha chapter had some brief inactivity as well.

Also I'm a big geek for knowing all this about my school - wow, go BU IFC reps . . .

KSig RC,
So Tridelt was kicked off because they eliminated the Greek System at Boston University? I checked our online site and it just shows that there was a couple of years when they were closed. Thanks for clearing that up! Do you know how are they doing now and how the overall greek system is doing at BU?

Theta Nu Xi was founded at UNC-Chapel Hill on April 11, 1997. They are alive and doing very well.

M.V.

Kappa Kappa Gamma was founded on October 13, 1870 at Monmouth College in Monmouth, Illinois. That's why you hear all that "Monmouth Duo" stuff and see emblems with a crossed key and arrow to put on party favors. Alpha Deuteron is still going strong, back after Monmouth banned Greek organizations for a while.

Whoever posted about Lombard College no longer existing and therefore AXiD's Alpha chapter is gone: Isn't Lombard College now Knox College...I know Knox only has 2 sororities, Tri-Delt and Pi Phi...but aren't they the same school, anyway?

Delta Gamma's first chapter was called "Psi". That was at the Lewis School (a sort of "finishing school for young ladies). That chapter no longer exists.

They're doing ok - I'd say in the upper half of sororities on campus, we don't mix with them as much as other houses but every time we have, it's been very cool.

Our greek system is mediocre at best, but fairly good for the NE (god i miss the midwest) . . . around 9-10% greek for girls, more like 6 or 7 for the guys (out of 14,000 students). Currently checking in at 8 NIC fraternities plus a colony, 9 NPC sororities, plus AKA, DST, APhiA and KAPsi have strong city-wide chapters.

The Lewis School for Girls was in Oxford, Miss, which is in the area of Ole Miss now. Our chapter at Ole Miss is our Alpha Psi chapter.
Our oldest continuous chapter of DG is the Eta Chapter located in Akron, OH at the University of Akron. They were founded in 1879.

Lombard College merged with Knox college in the 1930's during the depression. Alpha Xi's Alpha chapter transfered to Knox at that time. It closed due to membership issues in the 1980s (I think). I'll need to look it up.

Our Alpha Chapter was Norwich Univeristy in VT. They're a military academy and in 1960 they said no more frats.

I think VMI has the same policy. Sigma Nu was founded there.

Alpha Sigma Tau's Alpha Chapter was established at Eastern Michigan University on November 4, 1899.

The Alpha Chapter of Gamma Sigma Sigma is located at the University of Houston, but it's no longer active. UH was actually one of our founding schools.

Our oldest chapter (and the one members really view as our founding chapter anyway) is Zeta chapter at Drexel. They will be turning 50 this year on our Founders' Day.

Even though someone already said that my chapter's Alpha chapter no longer exists, I do know of a fraternity's Alpha chapter that does still exist, that's on my campus.

Farmhouse fraternity was founded on my campus, University of Missouri-Columbia, in 1905 and they are still very active today. One of the best/biggest fraternities on our campus, they won homecoming last year which is a huge deal, and I know every girl LOVES to have parties/events with them!

They are a bunch of nice, fun, very very cute guys. They are also our next door neighbors, which is lovvvvvely! Anyway, just a little bit of info for yall.

Phi Sig's Alpha chapter is (was) at Hunter College in New York... it is inactive... actually we had an alpha alpha as well because the hunter campus split I'm not sure if it was a new college when they did that or just like an extension of the same school... but they started a new chapter at the new "branch" of the campus. At least that's what I learned any phi sig who knows a bit more may want to clarify...

Alpha Phi Alpha's Alpha Chapter is at Cornell University founded on December 4th 1906 by 7 men.
