My alma mater, Wichita State University just posted that there are 200+ women signed up for formal recruitment. Recruitment starts September 7th. WSU is a big commuter school, and in my day (mid 80s) we had four active chapters and had about 100 in formal rush. Alpha Chi Omega disbanded their chapter in 84 or 85 I think. House total was between 60 & 65 then, and I'm pretty sure we all routinely participated in some type of continuous open rush and/or Spring rush.

There are now five NPC groups - Alpha Phi, Delta Delta Delta, Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, and Kappa Kappa Gamma. KKG is relatively new (under 5 years) but doing well from what I hear. Overall this is a diverse, open minded, service oriented, very panhellenic Greek System. NPC groups are in lodges on university owned property. I'm not sure if KKG has a house yet. There are 5 physical houses on Omega Court, but at one point the former Alpha Chi Omega house was leased by a fraternity and during my time was occupied by Kappa Sigma and then Pi Kappa Alpha. It would make sense to me for KKG to be located there but I have no idea of the condition, ownership, or other status of that lodge.

I'd love to see expansion at Wichita State. It seems to be getting a lot of exposure over the last few years and the 2 flagship schools are so expensive! I think people are really starting to look at some of those alternatives in-state. I'd be much more supportive of Alpha Xi going to Wichita State (go shockers!) or Emporia State, or Pittsburg... than KU.

I shamelessly plug WSU every chance I get! My high school fed K-State and to a lesser extent KU; during my time only a few students chose WSU. It's a fantastic place to get an education, and they have a unique urban environment with new dorms that help support students who want a more traditional experience.

The basketball team's rise to consistently great performance in the NCAA tournament has only helped a great school get more recognition!

Also, LXA was just Chartered at WSU!! We helped them out a lot At Pitt. St. Un. in Pittsburg, Ks. and am very proud of them!!
Would love to see them get into Foot Ball like another school lost all of their players like WSU=Marshall Un.
