Kentucky doesn't have a Southern University... I think you mean Northern Kentucky University.

Maria... I knew that one! You did an awesome job helping with that one!! I can't wait to hear where we go next!

As to the number of chapters... maybe the NPC site is out of date?

Delta Delta Delta at Florida Gulf Coast University (Spring '03)
Delta Delta Delta at Richard Stockton College (Spring '03)
Sigma Sigma Sigma at Gettysburg College (Fall '02)

Sorry, i always screw up the name of that one in some way or other. It's Northern Kentucky

Yessss! We just colonized at TAMU this past Fall (2003) and we are colonizing at USC (the "other" USC -- South Carolina not Southern Cal!);) in Fall 2004!:D

Maybe the number on the NPC website only refers to those colonizations that occured in 2003 seeing as how fall 2002 is more than a year ago in most cases. I'm not cure if it has happened yet but word on the street is that Alpha Chi Omega is recolonizing at Colorado State this year.

Typically, the NPC numbers reflect the last biennium because they are included in the reports and discussion at the fall meeting held in early October. That means the number probably does not include this fall (2003.) I believe they include Fall '01 through Spring '03. NPC usually releases figures in this manner. If this is not right, maybe it is since the meeting in fall '02, but awards and other details are on the biennium schedule. The important things is that more women are able to experience what we all hold so dear. Yay for the new chapters and colonies!!!

Alpha Phi is rechartering Saturday at Duke.

Phi Sig has chartered a new chapter in 2003. I think we also got a new colony. I don't remember what schools though.

Alpha Xi Delta is returning to Culver-Stockton and also to Cornell.

I'm so excited to hear that you're colonizing at IUK! I didn't think there were any NPC orgs there!

ETA: I just checked the Phi Sig IUK website, and one of my close friends from high school joined! Congrats girls, you have a wonderful and talented sister!

Well that's great to hear!! I'm excited to have your friend as a sister. :D

erniegurl,

that's great news about your friend! if you talk to her, tell her to join us here at GC - we'd love to meet her and hear how things are going there!

I must say:

Duke is one of my favorite schools (I am a MAJOR fan of their men's hoops)

Go ALPHA PHI!

my younger sister is a theta at colorado state, and yes, alpha chi omega will be re/colonizing there (i don't know if they were there before or not). i'm pretty sure it will be next fall.

If I see her I'll let her know!
