List of Delta Theta Phi chapters

Delta Theta Phi is an American professional law fraternity and a member of the Professional Fraternity Association. It was established September 26, 1913, by the merger of three law fraternities: Alpha Kappa Phi, Delta Phi Delta and Theta Lambda Phi.[1][2][3] The merged chapters continued to use their original charter dates, rather than the merger date. Delta Theta Phi merged with Sigma Nu Phi in 1989.
