I swear I can do math. We've got two dueteron chapters, which gives us 26 single letter chapters.

Reason: added Phi deuteron, fixed Nu

Typically it is a chapter that has become dormant (inactive). Oftentimes, it has re-colonized or re-established.
Our sorority does not use it but many others do

We could also add Phi deuteron, Stanford (1892-1944, 1978-)
Our confusing Phi/Phi deuteron chapter history: Our Phi chapter was established at Univ. of the Pacific (then in San Jose) in 1889. The Phi chapter charter was transferred to Stanford in 1892. Stanford "outlawed" sororities in 1944. In 1959, a chapter was established at the new University of the Pacific in Stockton as Phi. When Theta was able to return to the Stanford campus in 1979, the re-established chapter was given the Phi deuteron (Phi the second) designation. Both Phi/UoP and Phi deuteron/Stanford still exist.

There has never been a Mu chapter of AOII
|
And, because AOII does not name its chapters in order, there are a few double-letter chapters that are older than single-letter ones, so the game doesn't work so well for us. (Although most of the oldest chapters are single-letter.)

So was the Iota Chapter of ASA absorbed by Pi Phi? Just curious.

The dates are right... I don't know if that chapter was OSU's first fraternity or not. What does that have to do with single-letter chapters, though?

Nu Chapter at Hanover College was rechartered in 1959, not 1989.

Phi Gamma Delta WAS Ohio State's first fraternity. That was simply a statement that I made.
Typically, Omicron Deuteron would indicate that it was the Omicron chapter (single-letter) that was re-established. FIJI was re-established at Ohio State. I don't know if your GLO names their chapters in the same manner

TECHNICALLY, those are our "single letter chapters." However, the question NBH was really asking was how many of our oldest chapters are still active, since the oldest chapters in a GLO are usually only designated with one letter.
In our first years, we established the above chapters plus:
Gamma Beta Sigma, St. Mary's (NC) 1909-1910
Kappa Phi, Mt Union 1909-1914
Sigma Phi Epsilon, Brenau 1909-1914
Chi Iota, Hamilton (DC) 1909-1912
Kappa Phi & spe were both released to Tri-Delta in 1914. (Kappa Phi chapter was recolonized in around 2001 and closed in 2004.) Many of the above schools no longer have Greek systems.
ASA reorganized in 1914 with the following 4 chapters:
Alpha - Longwood (still open)
Alpha Alpha - Miami of Ohio (closed)
Alpha Beta - Truman State (still open, oldest continuous)
Alpha Gamma - Indiana U of PA
Our next chapters all were double letters - so instead of having single letter chapters, we really have the 4 above (the only ones allowed to use Alpha at the beginning) and 23 doubles.
Open:
Beta Beta - U of Northern Colorado
Gamma Gamma - Northwestern State U (Oklahoma)
Epsilon Epsilon - Emporia State
Zeta Zeta - Central MO State
Eta Eta - Pittsburg State
Nu Nu - Drexel U
Phi Phi - Northwest MO State
Psi Psi - Northwestern State U (Louisiana)
Closed:
Delta Delta - Ohio U
Theta Theta - Boston U
Iota Iota - Drake U
Kappa Kappa - Temple
Lambda Lambda - Ohio State
Mu Mu - Eastern Michigan U
Xi Xi - UCLA
Omicron Omicron - Kent State
Pi Pi - SUNY-Buffalo
Rho Rho - Marshall U
Sigma Sigma - Western State College (Colorado)
Tau Tau - Fort Hays State
Upsilon Upsilon - Denison U
Chi Chi - Ball State
Omega Omega - San Diego State

The official wording is that the chapter was "released" to PBP. I'm assuming that means that the ASA chapter became a Pi Phi chapter, rather than being absorbed into an already existing Pi Phi chapter at the college. If someone from Pi Phi posts, we can probably figure it out.

I agree. The same holds true with KD and, from what irishpipes posted, AOII as well.
For instance, KD's Kappa Alpha chapter is 16 years older than our Tau chapter.
