Are these the oldest continuously operating chapters?
I ask because of two thoughts.
First, it is widely agreed that the first "fraternity" in the US was Phi Beta Kappa, founded at William and Mary in 1776. Of course it has since become a highly prestigous honorary.
The oldest chapter in Delta Tau Delta is Beta Chapter at Ohio University, continuously operating in Athens since 1862, the fifty-eighth year of the University. That's my Alma Mater and my chapter.
Even at that, we were not the first chapter at O.U.
Those things being said, this is still interesting information. Thanks.
