Date conventions

A single date shown means this is the year that chapter was founded. Where two dates are shown, hyphenated, for example "1983-1993", this indicates the active dates of a chapter that has been subsequently closed. Where three dates are shown, for example "1934-1969/ 1989", this means the chapter was active between 1934 to 1969, closed, but was then re-chartered in 1989, with a continuing active presence today. In the case of four dates, "1959-1981 / 1989-1996", the chapter began in 1959, closed in 1981, reopened in 1989 and closed again in 1996.

Except where otherwise noted, chapter names, schools and dates are from the international sorority's website.

  3. Sororities, labeled as "undemocratic" because of their selectivity on the campus, were banned from Stanford in 1944, according to news reports. School regents voted to rescind this policy in 1977, after passage of Title XI. As of 2016 there were 14 active sororities back on the campus, of which seven are NPC organizations.

  8. ΑΟΠ has held this group's charter "in trust" since December 2014. This means it is a suspended or closed chapter. However, apparently, a group continued to operate under the same name, which may have been/be a violation of trademark. CBS reports the arrest of seven members of this (former, now clandestine?) chapter, after noise complaints led to allegations of hazing in a report dated 11 Nov 2016. The University noted that the sorority was off campus, and was not recognized by the school.
  9. The Facebook listing further notes that the date of reinstallation was 6 Nov, 2016.
  10. Lambuth University closed in June 2011; The University of Memphis opened its Lambuth campus in August 2011.
