I actually think this is incorrect. Alpha Gamma Delta lists all of its collegiate chapters on its website. It never had a chapter at Wesleyan in Georgia, but it did have one at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, as did Kappa Alpha Theta. I believe the only chapters at Wesleyan in Georgia were ADII, PM, DDD, and ZTA.

My guess is Alpha Chi Omega - (A).

By golly, you're right. And good catch. Serves me right for guessing after only checking the Tri Delta website and not the others too.

So bottom line, the answer would be "e" - Delta Delta Delta and Zeta Tau Alpha?

Right - it was a trick question!

Wow...good catch! I defer!

My source for this question was Baird's Manual, 18th ed., p. 812.

It lists:

Campuses on Which the Fraternity System Has Died

Wesleyan College, Macon, GA
1851 - ADPi
1852 - Phi Mu
1854 - Kappa Alpha Theta
1906 - Alpha Gamma Delta
1911 - ZTA
1913 - Tri Delta

Unless there was a typo, Baird's is wrong--Theta was founded in 1870 so it couldn't possibly have been chartered at Wesleyan in 1854 (1874 maybe).

Maybe someone who has a more recent edition of Baird's (19th or 20th) can see if it was ever corrected. The 18th edition I have is from 1968.

The one I have from 1977 (Bicentennial Addition) says

Wesleyan College, Macon, GA
Inactive:
Alpha Delta Pi 1851-1915
Phi Mu 1852-1914
Zeta Tau Alpha 1911-1914
Delta Delta Delta 1913-1914

Those are the only ones it lists...it doesn't list Theta or AGD.

However, when I look up Theta, it says 1884, Xi Chapter, Wesleyan (1887), so perhaps Theta's Xi chapter was there from 1884-1887?

When I look up Alpha Gamma Delta, it says 1906, Gamma Chapter, Wesleyan (1912), so Alpha Gam was there from 1906-1912 apparently....

I have another one out in my car, so I'll have to check it later and see....

Not 19th or 20th but I have a copy of the 7th edition 1912. The sororities listed as active are Phi Mu, ADII as ADPhi, Alpha Kappa Psi (1907, a small national), ZTA (1911) and Delta Pi Omicron (a local). Chapter listings for Theta up until 1912 do not include any charters at the Macon school.

irishpipes posted earlier that the confusion with the Theta & AGD chapters must be that they were present at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut -- not Wesleyan College in Macon, GA.
