History

It was founded in 1874 at Washington & Jefferson College in Washington, Pennsylvania when a chapter of Iota Alpha Kappa resolved to continue after Iota Alpha Kappa's dissolution.[1] Chapters were founded at Western University in 1876, Thiel College in 1876, Lafayette College in 1876, and the University of Louisiana in 1878.[1] By 1880, all of the chapters except for Washington & Jefferson College had become extinct.[1] That chapter sought to survive by joining another fraternity.[1] In 1881, the Washington & Jefferson College chapter joined Phi Gamma Delta, taking the designation of Alpha chapter, a designation that had belonged to the founding chapter of Phi Gamma Delta at Jefferson College.[1]

gollark: I mean, they might be reading your crypto secrets out of RAM, and... do you just assume that *some* of them won't be evil and just rerun the computation if the result don't match, or something?
gollark: If you don't trust your compute nodes, you basically can't do anything.
gollark: > The Internet Computer is a decentralized cloud computing platform that will host secure software and a new breed of open internet services. It uses a strong cryptographic consensus protocol to safely replicate computations over a peer-to-peer network of (potentially untrusted) compute nodes, possibly overlayed with many virtual subnetworks (sometimes called shards). Wasm’s advantageous properties made it an obvious choice for representing programs running on this platform. We also liked the idea of not limiting developers to just one dedicated platform language, but making it potentially open to “all of ’em.”How is *that* meant to work?
gollark: ... "internet computer"? Oh bees.
