There were only 4 groups doing extension between 1867 and 1881. Those four were Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Delta Gamma. Some of the early chapters did not survive for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it was because the institution ceased to exist. Extension was also willy-nilly. There really were no rules as we know them today. Both Pi Phi's and Kappa's Alpha chapters were forced off Monmouth's campus in 1884 and both groups continued to grow despite this loss.
