The first chapter, Alpha, was reorganized at the University at Buffalo Pharmacy School. This chapter grew until 1973 when again because of the influx of women to the profession, and small number of men pledging the fraternity Beta Phi Sigma was dissolved. There is still an alumni chapter that holds a reunion every 10 years, the first being held in 1997. (en)
