Former Chapters

The Delta Beta chapter, originally founded in 1987 at the American University, disaffiliated from the national fraternity several times in the 1990s and 2003 for 'Poor Greek Relations' and failure to pay dues, Delta Beta then reorganized under the name Sigma Omega Alpha (ΣΩΑ). Delta Beta resumed affiliation with the National Fraternity in 2010.

The Delta Gamma chapter at the State University of New York at Oneonta, founded in 1985, disaffiliated with the National office in 1995 after recognized fraternities were no longer allowed to give bids to first semester freshmen.

The Delta Pi chapter at the University of Ottawa was ordered to cease operations in 2006, after a dispute with the National office concerning the National insurance policy. Delta Pi sought permission from the National office to find an alternative insurance provider that complied with Canadian law. The National office formally denied their request in August 2006. Delta Pi subsequently disaffiliated and became an independent fraternity. The same insurance dispute led to the failure or disaffiliation of all Canadian chapters by August 2008. On March 24, 2012 Delta Pi was recharted as a chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu and resumed affiliation with the National Fraternity.

The Delta Nu chapter was founded at Western Michigan University (WMU). ΣΑΜ began there as a colony in 1989, and was fully admitted as a chapter in 1992. The fraternity shut down in 1999 due to hazing. (The updated date and notation why is from the pledge who turned them in)

The Sigma Phi chapter at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania was suspended due to lack of pledges in 2008.

The Chi chapter, originally founded in 1919 at Montreal's McGill University, was ordered to shut down in 2008 after refusing to pay for the National insurance policy because of its failure to comply with Canadian law. The Chi Chapter continued to operate as "an independent chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu in Quebec." The Chi chapter's "loyalist policy" indicates that it still recognizes all other active chapters and alumni including those initiated into the Delta Pi chapter in Ottawa. Chi Chapter is the oldest chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu to be established outside of the United States. As the oldest Canadian chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu, the chartering of Chi chapter on November 25, 1919 made Sigma Alpha Mu an international fraternity for the first time in its history. Chi was also the last recognized chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu to operate outside of the United States. The 2008 order from Sigma Alpha Mu's head office to cease operations heralded the end of Sigma Alpha Mu's status as an international fraternity.

The Xi chapter at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology disaffiliated from the national fraternity and is now a co-ed Independent Living Group known as Fenway House.[1]

The Delta Iota chapter at the State University of New York College at Brockport disaffiliated from the national fraternity.

The Gamma Sigma chapter at Binghamton University had its charter revoked in 2001. The Delta Delta chapter at Alfred University in Alfred, NY was dissolved in 2002 when the university disallowed Greek letter organizations on campus.

The Gamma Tau Chapter at the University of Florida ceased operations in 1996. It was recolonized in 2004 and ceased operations again in 2007. Finally, Gamma Tau was recolonized in 2010 and followed by its rechartering as of 2011.

Canadian Chapters

The National office forced all four Canadian chapters to cease operations or disaffiliate from the fraternity from August 2006 to August 2008. Delta Pi Chapter at the University of Ottawa informed the Octagon that the American insurance provider failed to comply with Canadian law in 2005. They requested permission to secure an alternative and equivalent Canadian provider. Their request was denied in August 2006 and their Charter was revoked. Delta Omicron at York University and Delta Kappa at the University of Western Ontario were forced to shut down in 2007 due to impecuniosity, which was a direct consequence of the National insurance policy. In 2008 Chi at McGill University was the only surviving Canadian Chapter. It demanded that the National office allow Delta Pi's 2005 appeal and establish a Canadian insurance alternative pursuant thereto. It further demanded that the National office act to quash the Octagon's 2006 expulsion order issued against Delta Pi. The National office offered to consider the former but rejected the latter out of hand. Chi responded by ceasing all financial transfers to Indianapolis. The National office subsequently ordered Chi Chapter to cease operations in August 2008. However, Chi refused to comply and has continued to operate notwithstanding the order. In 2012, Delta Pi Chapter was reinstated and is once again active at the University of Ottawa.
