Notes[edit]

  1. ^ The Wikipedia article for Omicron Alpha Tau lists a Marquette University chapter of that fraternity, noting it supposedly merged into Tau Delta Phi in 1934. But the Archive ΤΔΦ article has no listing of a Tau Delta Phi chapter.
  2. ^ a b c This chapter began at DeWitt Clinton High School, a preparatory school. The founders entered college between 1910 or 1912? (Alpha) and 1914 (Beta and Gamma), taking the fraternity with them, changing its name to Tau Delta Phi, and establishing several chapters. Alpha, Beta, and Gamma chapters stem from this root, though their creation of the fraternity pre-dates their entering their respective colleges in some cases by several years.
  3. ^ a b c This chapter has its origin on June 22, 1910 as Phi Sigma Beta (local). The group renamed itself four years later as Tau Delta Phi at the time that the founders entered their respective colleges.
  4. ^ The Almanac notes Beta chapter merged into Gamma chapter.
  5. ^ Gamma chapter absorbed NYU's Epsilon chapter of Omicron Alpha Tau at that organization's demise.
  6. ^ The Almanac notes Beta chapter merged into Gamma chapter. when NYU affiliated with Polytechnic University, the two chapters merged to create the combined chapter Delta Mu. When Polytechnic University merged with NYU, it appears the chapter either changed its name or reformed as Gamma.
  7. ^ MIT yearbook records after 1991 were unavailable to confirm closure year.
  8. ^ Omicron chapter originated as Alpha Theta Omega (local) in 1923.
  9. ^ Tau chapter originated as Upsilon Kappa (local) in 1926.
  10. ^ Phi chapter originated as Beta Sigma Epsilon (local) in 1924.
  11. ^ Psi chapter originated as Gamma Nu (local) in 1921.
  12. ^ Tau Alpha chapter originated as Gamma Phi Epsilon (local) in 1919. General fraternities and sororities are no longer permitted by Colby College.
  13. ^ Social or general fraternities and sororities were abolished by Colby College in 1984.
  14. ^ Tau Beta chapter originated as the Alpha chapter of Omicron Alpha Tau, formed in the Spring of 1912.
  15. ^ Tau Gamma chapter came from the Eta chapter of Omicron Alpha Tau, formed in 1928. Previously, that chapter had its origin in the Evergreen Club (local) formed at Rutgers in 1925.
  16. ^ a b NYU's University Heights, Bronx campus was sold in 1973, with students consolidating to the main campus.
  17. ^ Tau Delta chapter originated as the Pyramid Club, formed earlier in 1947. The name, an obvious symbol of ΤΔΦ, suggests it was a planned colony.
  18. ^ Tau Epsilon chapter had its origin as a colony that began in 1946.
  19. ^ Tau Zeta chapter originated as a colony, formed in 1946.
  20. ^ Tau Theta chapter originated as Omega Iota (local), formed in 1947.

  29. ^ Tau Sigma chapter originated as six decades-old Delta Gamma Theta (local), in 1898.
  30. ^ Tau Tau chapter originated as the Pyramid Club (local), in 1964. In 1973 the chapter withdrew and joined rival Tau Epsilon Phi's Epsilon Phi chapter on the campus. After a period of dormancy, in 2007 Tau Tau chapter recolonized from the Phi Society (local), a group that itself had broken away from Phi Delta Theta, earning a ΤΔΦ charter in 2009. That group again failed, in 2011.

  42. ^ Polytechnic University affiliated with New York University and became the Polytechnic Institute of New York University. This chapter combined the former Delta Delta with ""Gamma" of NYU. The school went defunct when it merged with New York University in 2014, becoming part of what is now New York University Tandon School of Engineering At that time, it appears that the chapter either returned to or reformed as Gamma.
