Kappa Alpha Theta has the oldest founding (Alpha) chapter in continuous existence at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana

[LightBulb]

The Alpha chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau was founded (and is active!) at Eastern Michigan University (then Michigan State Normal College) in Ypsilanti, Michigan, on November 4, 1899.

In 1899, in Ypsilanti, Mich.,
Eight great girls sat right down
and made themselves a wish!

They made the best sorority,
The best you'll ever see!
Our colors are now green and gold
We call it AST!

When I was at DePauw a few months ago, our lovely AXO guides pointed out a lot of places on campus that were important to Theta. I loved the Theta house, too

Speaking of which, DAMN, neither of my Alpha chapters are active!

You're an Alpha, right? I thought the Cornell chapter reactivated. Their home page looks current:

I wanted to know who was from (initiated into) an Alpha chapter, or any other single-letter chapter.

Oh! In that case, I was initiated into Delta Zeta's Omicron chapter, which is one of only 5 single letter chapters still active.

I know that my brother and grandfather are both alums of the Phi chapter (Bethany College, WV) of Phi Kappa Tau, whose house was next to the Delta Tau Delta, which was founded at Bethany and still exists there today.
