How long before you had a Beta chapter?

[g41965]

DU was founded as the Social Fraternity at Williams College on November 4,1834. The second chapter was founded at Union College in 1838.
DU has never used the Alpha, beta etc. system of numbering chapters instesd naming chapters after the host institution.
The longest period a chapter was inactive before revival cahe at Harvard active 1880-1942 revived in 1999.

Alpha Chapter May 1st 1848
Beta Chapter June 7, 1848


Part of the short amount of time was that the founders had as one of the first agenda items on May 1, 1848 how this "association" could be venture out to more colleges and what would be that process.

Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority Inc. was founded in 1990, and Beta chapter was originally founded sometime between 4-9-1990 and 1992, when Gamma chapter was founded. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly when, because the chapter folded and then was refounded and the original info is not available. But nonetheless, it was within 2 years, and now, after 14 years, we have 74 chapters and 9 current colonies, and 11 alumnae associations. WOW

Not necessarily. Gamma Sigma Sigma National Service Sorority was formed at a meeting of eight women's service groups (some called sororities, some not) at which the letters, colors and shield were taken from various different groups who attended.

Pi Alpha Phi was founded in 1926, and their Beta Chapter was founded in 1988. That's a long time.

Our Alpha Chapter was February 20, 1994, and our Beta Chapter was established roughly a year later.

As AOX81 said our beta chapter was founded 13 years after the Alpha chapter, but the two chapters meet as one group since the schools are so close together.

Delta Xi Phi was founded in 1994 at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and our Beta was founded at Cal State Chico in 1998.

Okay back up...Sigma Kappa had three different chapter at one school? I don't even understand how that could happen....It's the same organization, how would they compete....I am so confused

Check out this link from the Sigma Kappa website that explains the history of the first three chapters.

Omega Psi Phi's Beta Chapter was founded about 3 years later, in 1914, by the efforts of students at Lincoln Univ. in PA. The following are brief excerpts from a report dated May 6, 1915 on the founding of Beta Chapter.

THE ORGANIZATION OF BETA CHAPTER

"In the fall of 1913 four members of the Junior Class of Lincoln Univeristy met in Brother A.M. Willis' room to consider the most expedient move to circumvent the unscrupulous attacks of certain factions and political onslaughts...After a prolonged consideration we decided that an effort must be made to unite against the aristocratic tyranny of certain members of the University.

It was such a conception that fathered our communication and sending of a representative to Alpha Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi;with sufficient instructions and authoritative knowledge to consider plans for our incipiency into the college life of Lincoln University.

On February 6,1914. twenty men met your representatives,Brothers Brannon,Cooper and McMorris, with their hearts and minds resolved to fight corruption and aristocracy at every angle until Lincoln University stood as a fitting monument to our martyred President."
