Chapters

National Chapter Number

The system of assigning national chapter and member numbers was devised by our founder, Mrs. Ruth L. Riley.  As each chapter is chartered, it receives a national number based on the year it was chartered and its ordinal number during that year.  For example, the first Cardinal Key chapter to be chartered was Midland University (formerly, Midland Lutheran College) in Fremont, Nebraska. Midland’s chapter number is 32 A.
