As with the first naming cycle, no two-letter chapter name consisting of identical Greek letters would be issued. Beginning that year, the Fraternity began to issue the unused two-letter names in reverse order. Using this system, 300 names could be issued to college chapters, ending in 2005 with Psi Omega at Santa Clara University.
Likewise, after Beta Omega, the next name issued was Gamma Delta Gamma Alpha, Gamma Beta, and Gamma Gamma were not used. Thus, after Alpha Omega the next name issued was Beta Gamma to Indiana University, not Beta Alpha or Beta Beta. In the first cycle of chapter naming, no two-letter chapter name consists of identical Greek letters, and letters that came before the first letter of a chapter's name in the Greek alphabet were not used for the second letter. Once the Greek alphabet had been exhausted by using single letters, two-letter names began to be issued, starting with Alpha Beta, then Alpha Gamma, then Alpha Delta, etc. Alpha is the name given to the founding chapter at New York University, followed by Beta at the University of Denver for the second chapter, then Gamma, and so on.
The names are issued in order according to the dates on which the chapters are chartered. The names of the college chapters consist of either one or two Greek letters.Ĭhapters of Alpha Kappa Psi are given names consisting of either one or two Greek letters. The majority of the chapters remain active. The American fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi has established over 350 "chapters" (local sections) in universities and colleges all over the United States and elsewhere, in addition to about 90 chapters of alumni in American cities and a small number of colonies.
