Revision as of 05:57, 31 December 2024 by Rublamb (talk | contribs) (created new article by moving long chapter list from Mu Phi Epsilon)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Mu Phi Epsilon is a co-ed international professional music fraternity. It was founded as a music sorority in 1903, at the Metropolitan College of Music in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1906, Mu Phi Epsilon absorbed Phi Mu Epsilon, a two-chapter music sorority, forming the Delta and Eta chapters. It has 227 collegiate chapters and 113 alumni chapters in the US and abroad.
Collegiate chapters take their names from the original Alpha chapter, progressing through the Greek alphabet and then using the prefixes Mu, Phi, and Epsilon. This was then followed by using the other prefixes of the Greek alphabet in alphabetical order, beginning with Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and so on. As of 2016, the prefix Eta is used for new chapters. International chapters have been Alpha Tau (Philippine Women's University, 1962), Beta Xi (University of the Philippines, 1967,) and Delta Iota (University of Western Ontario, Canada, 1990).
