Susquehanna chapter name
editThis page lists the Susquehanna chapter as Beta Kappa's Alpha Psi chapter. However, the online Baird's archive[1] says it was Beta Kappa's Alpha Omega chapter. The last print edition of Baird's doesn't have a chapter list, but it appears the list had come from an earlier version of Baird's from 1957 (16th ed.). Was the name in the 16th edition a typo, later corrected in the online Baird's archive? Which is correct?
Sometimes, names reflected original local names or earlier designations. Did that occur here? Was there a typo, because the letters were adjacent? Today, the resultant Theta Chi chapter at Susquehanna shows it to be now named the Beta Omega chapter of Theta Chi. See List of Theta Chi chapters. Jax MN (talk) 18:00, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
