The growth of the fraternity from then on was both consistent and substan- tial as an unbroken roll of seventy-eight active chapters indicates. The Union chapter, Rho Zeta, developed as an outgrowth of the BINV. Club, which formerly held meetings in the dormitories, but later rented a house and assumed the Greek name of Delta Theta Phi fraternity. This organization petitioned Lambda Chi Alpha, and its charter was granted in 1915. The govern- ment of the fraternity is by a general assembly which as a rule is held biennially. 191 A '
