  10. According to the 1961 Minnesota Gopher Yearbook, a short-lived local sorority called ΒΤΛ was formed by members of ΣΚ's Alpha Eta chapter who chose to turn in their charter over dissatisfaction with how the national sorority had handled two eastern chapters who'd pledged black students, chapters that had been suspended. Thus, it would appear that the Minnesota group had been supportive of a more inclusive national policy. The national policy was soon changed to be more inclusive, but the Alpha Eta was gone. Address in 1961: 521 12th Avenue SE, Minneapolis, MN, which they abandoned after 1962, folding in 1964.
