Beta Phi Alpha (ΒΦΑ) was a national collegiate sorority operating in the United States from 1919 until 1941. It was absorbed by Delta Zeta sorority. == History == On the campus of the University of California Berkeley, Beta Phi Alpha began as Bid-A-Wee, a group created to meet the needs of a "very difficult housing situation" (Miner, p. 144). In 1912, the name changed to Aldebaran, after the star. In 1919, the group became a Greek letter organization with the name Kappa Phi Alpha (University of California Chronicle, p. 38). By 1920, the sorority took on its final name, Beta Phi Alpha. Beta Phi Alpha then began the process of nationalization and expansion. In 1923, it was granted membership in the National Panhellenic Conference. Thirty five chapters were installed by 1936, but not all of them were active. Many of them suffered from the Great Depression. In 1941, Beta Phi Alpha was absorbed by Delta Zeta sorority (Miner, pp. 144- 145). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beta Phi Alpha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
