Which city hosted the first chapter?

• A. Charleston, SC
• B. Roanoke, VA
• C. Boston, MA
• D. Savannah, GA

Answer: (A)

Understanding where the first chapter was hosted shows where the organization began its formal local presence. The city that hosted the first chapter is the birthplace of the national group’s chartered activities and serves as the model for how later chapters are formed, governed, and connected to the national leadership. In this case, Charleston, South Carolina, is the location where the initial chapter received its charter, marking the start of the organization’s chapter system. That first chapter establishes the standards and traditions that guides subsequent chapters as the organization grows. The other cities listed are places the organization may have reached later, but they did not host the inaugural charter.
