xo_kathy, you so crazy.

ASA changed its way of naming chapters after our reorganization in 1914. The 4 chapters that participated in that are Alpha, Alpha Alpha, Alpha Beta and Alpha Gamma. These are the ONLY four chapters that will ever start with Alpha. After that we did double letters (Beta Beta, Gamma Gamma etc) all thru the alphabet and then went back to Beta Alpha, Beta Gamma, Beta Delta etc. We are up to Theta Beta now, we skipped Eta for whatever reason.

Our Kappa Phi chapter at Mount Union was a recolonization of a pre-reorganization chapter and so they kept their original chapter name.
