Notes
- ^ a b The first two alumni chapters were founded as Alpha Alpha and Beta Beta. However, this nomenclature was discontinued in 1926, with alumni chapter names changing to match that of their related collegiate chapter.
- ^ The fraternity called an alumna not affiliated with a specific chapter a Stray Lamb. At the 1986 convention, the By-Laws were amended to change the name to Alumni-at-Large.
