− | + | Knox College's Illinois Beta-Delta Chapter is the only dually chartered Pi Beta Phi Chapter in the world. Illinois Beta was originally at Lombard University, and Illinois Delta was at Knox. The Great Depression during the 1930s caused Lombard to close down and subsequently the two chapters combined in 1930. | |
