Page "Sigma Tau Gamma" Paragraph 19

Naming of chapters Sigma Tau Gamma chapters are each given Greek letter designations upon chartering.

The order by which the designations are given flows naturally from the order of the Greek alphabet.

The first chapter is " Alpha chapter ", the second is " Beta chapter ", and so on.

Once the alphabet expired, double letters were used.

Thus, the twenty-fifth chapter was " Alpha Alpha chapter ", the twenty-sixth was " Alpha Beta chapter.

" Contrary to this system, the third chapter was not designated " Gamma chapter ".

Rather it was called " Delta chapter ," skipping Gamma.

The seventh chapter, was originally named " Iota chapter " but was changed in 1927 to " Gamma chapter ".

Since the designation of Theta chapter at Northwest Missouri State University in April, 1927, the naming system has no exceptions.
