(Info courtesy of ajuhdg's fabulous list in our forum.) Since the single-letter naming convention allowed a new chapter to use a closed chapter's letter, the ratio is up for interpretation. I would say 22/34.

All of those from Zeta to Kappa were established between 1974-1978...we apparently had some really lax expansion policies back then, and none of these chapters lasted very long at all. Omega was founded in 2000, and had closed already by the time I joined in Spring 2004.

The chapter was the first fraternity on Ohio State's campus and their most famous member is Jack Nicklaus. That I know to be true

[LegallyBrunette]

This is accurate as of right now too.

And I'm curious, why doesn't AST have an Epsilon chapter?
