Notes

edit
  1. ^ Chapter closed when the law school merged with George Washington.
  2. ^ College merged to become the Cleveland-Marshall Law School in 1944.
  3. ^ Chapter closed when the law school closed.
  4. ^ Looks like a typo in Baird's, which showed it installed in 1945. Assume this is 1925, to match alphabetical order.
  5. ^ a b Baird's list shows two "Kentucky" chapters, in Beta Rho and Beta Chi.
