Notes
[edit]- ^Alpha Alpha chaptermerged with theBeta Upsilon chapterof Kappa Psi after the national merger of the two fraternities. When the fraternity split into two groups in 1924, it becamePhi Delta chapterofTheta Kappa Psi.
- ^Baird's 20th notes this school as a name change to what is now LIU, with the chapter listed as the predating establishment of the school by several decades. This appears to have been an error in Baird's (p. II-98). On another page (p. VIII-42) in the text describing Phi Delta the school is listed as Long Island Hospital Medical College, a small school that was linked on another WP page to a hospital that closed in 2012. The school, however, had a long history by then and became a unit of SUNY.
- ^Chapter became theOmega chapterofPhi Rho Sigmafraternity.
- ^Wisconsin College of Physicians & Surgeons was purchased byMarquette Universityin 1913. The chapter became inactive when the college ceased operations.
- ^Chapter went defunct when University Medical School closed in 1910.
- ^Although dormant, this chapter appears to have become theBeta Zeta chapterofTheta Kappa Psi,purhaps for the purposes of alumni affiliation.
- ^The chapter went defunct when the school closed in 1907.
- ^Chapter went defunct when the Sioux City School of Medicine closed in 1909. It was absorbed byKappa Psiduring a national chapter merger but became theBeta Pichapter of Theta Kappa Psi when that fraternity split into two groups in 1925.
- ^There are several similarly named medical schools in Canada. This seems the likely successor school.
- ^This chapter went defunct when Dearborn Medical College closed.
- ^Alpha Nu chapter' merged withAlpha Pi chapterwhen the Chicago College of Medicine and Surgery was purchased by Loyola University in 1917.Alpha Nu chapterreformed as theBeta Rho (first) chapterof Kappa Psi following a national merger of the two fraternities.
- ^Alpha Pi chaptermerged into theBeta Rho (first) chapterof Kappa Psi following a national merger of the two fraternities.
