Notes

  1. ^ From the 1903 history: "The Gamma chapter of ΝΣΝ was granted without investigation into the character of the work done, while the fraternity was in its infancy. None of the men were experienced in fraternity work and no new men were initiated. But [~only] one of the nine charter members maintain[ed] his standing in the general fraternity, and he affiliate[ed] with Rho chapter. No further report of Gamma and its men [would] appear [in subsequent histories]." The 1932 history indicated that at the seventh National Convention that Gamma's charter was withdrawn and all expelled except one.
  2. ^ Chapter was suspended in 1899 for sub-par academics.
  3. ^ Chapter formed from The Alpha Society, established in 1894.
