- Baird's 20th notes that there was a 50th anniversary history published, so late 1950s vintage. Jax MN (talk) 19:46, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
Penn and Temple
[edit]It is unclear to me how Penn ended up with Beta chapter without a merger, even though the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery which merged into Penn had hosted Alpha Omega's founding Ramach chapter. Ramach instead moved its charter to Temple, which, though Temple had previously absorbed some faculty twenty years prior from the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery, by then that was long in the rear view mirror. Why combine with Theta? Was this simply due to members' choices in where they transferred? The schools are near to each other. Was Theta weaker, and therefore this was an attempt to shore them up?

- Jax MN, I have no idea. Any clue from the 1933 book? Naraht (talk) 20:23, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- I've noted it in the article as best I can figure it out. It remains a strange way to split the school, with assets going one way, and the students another. Jax MN (talk) 21:34, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
