[edit] Charter Jump

Does anyone know why Omega Phi Alpha jumped from Alpha Delta to Alpha Theta? Are Alpha Epsilon, Alpha Zeta and Alpha Eta current assigned to colonies that have been approved and not yet gone through their chartering ceremony or is there another reason? I'd like to keep the Inactive chapters up to date as well if these are groups which have gone inactive. Naraht 15:15, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Naraht: We jumped to Alpha Theta to honor that chapter's local history; they were formerly a local group by the name of Theta Alpha Pi who recently affiliated with us. At OPhiA's National Convention last summer, we passed legislation to make exceptions to the naming order in special cases, particularly those involving formerly local groups. Hope that helps answer your question! Maryamanda 11:05pm EDT, 30 May 2006

Thanx (flipped answers to after, like the talk page standard). I found Theta Alphi Pi on the Penn State Website... I can only think of one recent change in that regard for my fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega, we decided not to have an Alpha Phi Omega chapter of Alpha Phi Omega. It will probably be at least 20 years before we get there though, we are only up to Alpha Zeta Gamma (charter 723) in the ordering (we use the same naming order as Omega Phi Alpha) and Alpha Phi Omega would be charter 1,204. And it has been quite a few years since I heard of us taking a local in, but it has been done. Naraht 12:43, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
