Anatra, there's your New England chapter!

I checked out the NEC website because I wasn't too familiar with the school (despite having worked in NH for a while). Is this going to be a ground up colonization or are we absorbing one of the locals?

A little of both.. there was a local looking to affliate they selected Kappa Delta Phi NAS however a few of the women wanted Theta Phi and left the local to start TPA. There are about 7 women in the interest group now.

WOOOOOO! Finally another New England chapter! They're not too far from me. Maybe I can FINALLY attend an installation! :)

More Big Name Schools
 

I think it would be cool if we colonized on some larger campuses like LSU, USC, Texas A & M, Ole Miss, etc...

I agree!!!! It would be great for us to get to some larger campuses!!

The process has a large number of rules. The campus must actually be open for extension for us to contact the school and let them know we are interested.

A campus is only "open" when the proper authority... Panhel votes to invite another group on campus.

Once that happens we send in proposals to be invited to present to these campuses. Then then have to invite us to present.

They will invite approx 3 groups and select from one of them. Many larger university require hundreds of thousands in housing. Which is sometimes not the investment we are willing or sometimes ready to make.

We continue to look at larger universities that are a good fit but that doesnt mean that Theta Phi will be invited on, but it doesnt mean we wouldnt be invited either!

I just saw in LaneSig's thread that the University of Denver is open for expansion. I think it would be really cool to get a single letter chapter back (Omicron). Plus, if I'm not mistaken, I think an alumnae association was just chartered in Colorado.

Anywhere in RI. I'm from RI and there are no chapters near my home. I know there used to be a chapter at Bryant and Johnson and Wales. I also know there is an interest group at Roger Williams. I think it would be great to see a Theta Phi Chapter in RI! :)

Looks like you got your wish! It was just announced in another thread that we are colonizing with the interest group at Roger Williams this weekend.

We are recolonizing our Mu chapter at the University of Nebraska in the fall :)

*Crash*

I love Roger Williams University (and RI in general!). Everything there is beautiful. If I hadn't gone to PSU, I would have gone there. I'm jealous that you all will have a colony on that campus!

I would love to see Delta chapter at Ohio University recolonized, all though I admittedly have no clue what their greek statistics are right now.

Ok so we are presenting at Indiana University, Capital University and are colonizing at Philadelphia University... where else should we be looking?

Although I'm pretty sure they aren't open for expansion yet, i think Montclair State (NJ) would be a nice to place to be, especially given the amount of chapters and alumni in the area :-)

I agree with this. I'm transferring in the fall to Mississippi State University and I would love for us to colonize there!

I would like to see more than one chapter in GA
