In 1921, the Fraternity was divided into 3 districts as a result of proposed legislation by George F. David II, the third Grand Polemarch. The three districts grew into four “regions.” In 1925, the designation of “Region” was changed to “Province” by Fifth Grand Polemarch Earl B. Dickerson, at the 15th Grand Chapter Meeting. Currently the fraternity is organized into twelve Provinces.

The Trenton Alumni Chapter, located in the Northeastern Province, is comprised of approximately 50 dedicated brothers. The chapter was chartered on April 6, 1949. For over 75 years, the Trenton Alumni Chapter has impacted the greater Trenton and Mercer County areas through its community service and fund-raising events for worthy causes.
