Chapter names

[edit]

In cleaning up and expanding the table of chapters, I noticed that several "Sigma series" chapters were added at somewhat later dates on campuses where there was a pre-existing chapter. These pre-existing chapters may have gone dormant in the Great Depression, and the Sigma-series charters were aimed at restoring them (a rational choice, if not the standard naming system now prevalent among GLOs.) Can anyone from the fraternity elaborate?

Additionally, the Alpha Lambda chapter that is listed on the national website at "Whitworth College" of Brookhaven, Mississippi appears to be in error. The school in Brookhaven was accurately called Whitworth Female College, and was an institution that closed in 1938. Hence it cannot have been chartered in 1967. However, there is a school in Seattle, Washington named Whitworth College (well, actually now it is Whitworth University. Is the school incorrectly listed on the national website?

I've written to a professor at the Seattle school, who is a member of Chi Beta Phi, assuming she'd know the facts. When this is sorted out I will alert the national offices. Jax MN (talk) 23:35, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
