The Theta Nu Epsilon Society.

The Delta Lambda and Lincoln & Lee Chapters at the University of Missouri, Kansas City.

There were two chapters that are considered to have been at the University of Missouri, Kansas City.

The Delta Lambda Chapter at the University of Missouri, Kansas City was actually created Kansas City Western Dental College, which merged with the University of Kansas City in 1941. The first records of the chapter date to 1923, but the chapter may have been active a year before in 1922. it was a legitimate chapter of the society, having been chartered by the Madden National.

The chapter was dropped by the National five years later in 1928 because Delta Lambda was not at an undergraduate institution, and the faction seeking to make Theta Nu Epsilon a four-year fraternity had succeeded in taking control of the society in 1925.

The chapter continued intact on its own for the past 83 years. It is independent of the National Organization.

The National Organization does salute the members of this chapter for their long-standing dedication to the principles of Theta Nu Epsilon.

There was a very short-lived chapter at a university that rever really existed at all. This was the chapter at Lincoln & Lee University.

Lincoln & Lee University was intended to be a major university in Kansas City, sponsored in part by Henry S. Siegrist. The University never graduated any students, and was merged into the University of Kansas City in 1933. That institution became a branch of the University of Missouri in 1963.

Theta Nu Epsilon is the only society to have been organized at Lincoln & Lee University.
