Is there a gigantic spreadsheet of all colleges and universities with what NPC GLOs are on each campus?

This database, developed by irishpipes, is about as comprehensive as it gets!

Using irishpipes' database and being under the weather most of the day, I figured out the stats for Alpha Delta Pi. We are on the same campus as these GLOs the following times:


CW: 73
ZTA: 61
DDD: 58
KD: 57
ACW: 54
DG: 52
KKG: 52
PBF: 47
DZ: 45
GFB: 44
KAQ: 44
SK: 41
AF: 39
FM: 39
AGD: 35
AOP: 29
AXD: 24
SDT: 20
SSS: 20
AEF: 19
ASA: 9
DFE: 6
FSS: 6
AST: 2
QFA: 1


This is the perfect example of why the word "competitor" doesn't work. Five of the sororities under 36 are at Pitt, which has 11 sororities. Does that mean that the Pitt chapter of ADPi shouldn't even deign to look at the competitors under the halfway mark? Of course not! The GLOs which each sorority will find themselves competing differ from campus to campus.

I think this is better seen as a list of which other GLOs are most likely to focus on the same campus for a chapter.

Yes there is....kind of. It's not a spreadsheet, but Irishpipes put together an incredible list of all NPC chapters (active and dormant).

I think it's somewhere in the recruitment area?? Someone will post the link I'm sure.


ETA: Honey posted while I was typing.....there's the link! :D

KSUViolet06 02-17-2008 11:49 PM

I think a more accurate title for this thread is more like "Which sororities are you on campus with the most" or something like that.

:( I wish Phi Mu and ADPi shared more campuses than that...but the 39 campuses we do share is great! YAY MM!

AnatraAmore 02-18-2008 12:41 AM

Theta Phi Alpha

Phi Sigma Sigma 16
Delta Phi Epsilon 13
Delta Zeta 11
Alpha Sigma Tau 10
Sigma Sigma Sigma 9
Alpha Sigma Alpha 8
Zeta Tau Alpha 8
Alpha Xi Delta 6
Kappa Delta 5
Gamma Phi Beta 4

Delta Gamma 3
Phi Mu 3

Alpha Omicron Pi 2
Delta Delta Delta 2

Alpha Chi Omega 1
Alpha Delta Pi 1

Interesting... are there any GLO's that don't share at least one campus with every other NPC organization?

Me, too! I was really shocked when I saw the stats.

The list proved one thing to me much more clearly than "who we compete against"; it showed which sororities tended to have chapters in which state. It's also amazing how many chapters of EVERY sorority have closed, for one reason or another!

lyreladyAXO 02-18-2008 02:00 AM

I would love somebody to figure it out for Alpha Chi! Just out of curiosity, how did you guys get this information? Look at the school websites for every campus where your sorority is located?

I'm pretty sure people are piggy-backing on all of the hard work that Irishpipes has already done in the links above. Why do the ground work twice, you know? Irishpipes info is the go-to resource for many purposes, but it is certainly interesting to see it applied like this.

Last plea:
Can a mod and oldu get together and retitle the thread? I honestly don't even think it comes down to a preference of term... I think the title itself was confusing to more than a few.

cuteASAbug 02-18-2008 02:12 AM

Here's the list for ASA. I may have missed a few, so it's not 100% accurate, but you get the general idea.

Alpha Gamma Delta: 14

Alpha Xi Delta: 6
Alpha Omicron Pi: 14
Alpha Sigma Tau: 21
Alpha Phi: 11
Alpha Chi Omega: 7
Gamma Phi Beta: 6
Delta Gamma: 8
Delta Delta Delta: 4
Delta Zeta: 25
Delta Phi Epsilon: 8
Zeta Tau Alpha: 14
Theta Phi Alpha: 8
Kappa Alpha Theta: 3
Kappa Delta: 4
Kappa Kappa Gamma: 2
Pi Beta Phi: 1
Sigma Delta Tau: 2
Sigma Kappa: 19
Sigma Sigma Sigma: 35
Phi Mu: 15
Phi Sigma Sigma: 15
Chi Omega: 8

or

Interviewer: Name three words that describe you.

Interviewee: Winner. Awesome. Fratty. (okay maybe not that last one)



How dare you, Skylark.


Everyone knows my greatest weakness is that I care too much. And I'm a perfectionist. And I'd rather increase profits than sleep.

Kappa Kappa Gamma--57
Delta Delta Delta--53
Alpha Chi Omega--56
Delta Zeta--41
Alpha Delta Pi--41 (as opposed to Honeychile's 39)
Sigma Kappa--41
Alpha Omicron Pi--39
Alpha Gamma Delta --37
Kappa Delta--35 (as opposed to Leslie Anne's 34)
Alpha Xi Delta--32 (as opposed to oldu's 30)
Zeta Tau Alpha--31
Alpha Epsilon Phi--26
Sigma Delta Tau--22
Phi Sigma Sigma--23
Phi Mu--18
Sigma Sigma Sigma --18 (as opposed to Jocelyn's 17)
Alpha Sigma Alpha--12 (as opposed to cuteASAbug's 11)

Delta Gamma - 75
Kappa Alpha Theta - 68
Kappa Kappa Gamma - 68
Alpha Delta Pi - 54
Alpha Phi - 53
Kappa Delta - 51
Sigma Kappa - 41
Delta Zeta - 38
Phi Mu - 37
Alpha Omicron Pi - 35
Alpha Xi Delta - 28
Sigma Sigma Sigma - 11
Alpha Sigma Alpha - 7
Theta Phi Alpha - 1

:)


ETA:
epchick: I just did a recount for Alpha Phi and KD and still got 34. :confused: Are we using the same list? I used the one Irishpipes made.
