Pi Delta Theta

Pi Delta Theta (ΠΔΘ) was a national collegiate sorority operating in the United States from February 14, 1926 until it was absorbed by Delta Sigma Epsilon in September 1941.[1][2] Delta Sigma Epsilon was in turn absorbed by Delta Zeta in 1956. Pi Delta theta was a member of the Association of Education Sororities. The merger of Pi Delta Theta and Delta Sigma Epsilon was the only merger within the AES.

Chapter List

The chapters of Pi Delta Theta were:[3]

gollark: I guess it's possible that even one which doesn't know about parties might accidentally be biased due to (hypothetically, I don't know if this is true) one party being popular in low-density areas and the other in high-density, or really any other difference in locations.
gollark: You don't actually need simple shapes very badly as long as you have an algorithm which is not likely to be biased.
gollark: Okay, rearrange the states so they're square.
gollark: A simple if slightly inaccurate way would be some kind of binary space partitioning thing, where (pretending the US is a perfect square) you just repeatedly divide it in half (alternatingly vertically/horizontally), but stop dividing a particular subregion when population goes below some target number.
gollark: The more complex the algorithm the more people might try and manipulate it. The obvious* solution is to just split up the country by latitude/longitude grid squares.
