Chapters have earned their place in the history of Sigma Beta Rho by the designation of a Greek letter. The Greek letter is assigned to a chapter based on the order in which they earn Chapter Status (for instance, University of Pennsylvania is our first chapter, and thus, earned the Alpha letter designation). If a “lettered” chapter is ever disbanded, that letter will always be reserved for that university and reassigned when a charter is re-established, and chapter status is earned again.
