The Tennessee Iota chapter at Union University, and the chapters at the Kentucky Military Institute and the University of Nashville became inactive when the institutions in which they were located were closed. As Union University was removed and united with Southwestern Baptist University the present ΒΤ chapter may properly be considered a continuation of the old chapter. The charter of the chapter at Bethel Academy was withdrawn.

The chapters at the Virginia Military Institute, Bethel College, the Bingham School, the University of South Carolina, The South Carolina Military Academy, Middle Georgia State College, Wofford, Wooster and Haverford Colleges died from anti-fraternity laws. The charters of the remaining inactive chapters were withdrawn or surrendered. Many of the chapters have been inactive for different lengths of time, Washington and Lee from 1899 to 1906, Tennessee from 1873 to 1900; Trinity from 1879 to 1890, Pennsylvania from 1884 to 1891 and 1896 to 1901, Washington and Jefferson from 1883 to 1901, Stanford from 1898 to 1911; Lehigh from 1886 to 1890 and 1897 to 1903, Simpson from 1890 to 1905; Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1886 to 1906, Charleston from 1892 to 1898, and Michigan from 1894 to 1904. Some of the earlier chapters existed sub rosa but the fraternity will not now establish or maintain a chapter in opposition to the college authorities.
