AOII is on Thursday. I don't know who else is in the mix.

Assuming you mean UCF . . .
 

Since Gamma Phi doesn't present until tomorrow, I seriously doubt they have selected anyone.

LOL. Thanks, ladies, for the update with the schedule. I had a feeling it sounded too early for any final decisions to be made.

AXiD, AOII, Sigma Kappa and ZTA

Extension presentations were yesterday at UCF.

Per UCF's Twitter, Delta Zeta will colonize Fall 2011 and Gamma Phi Beta will colonize in either 2013 or 2014! Congatulations to both groups!

Yay for these groups...but this hurts me...I want my Beta Kappa back!

Also I believe that Tri Sigma left between 1999-2002....I just don't know when, because I left AZ in '93.

I'm sorry ms_gwyn. I know it would be so nice to get your chapter back. I had my fingers crossed for you; I really did.

You my dear are you sweetheart and thank you...

I hope that AOII gets chosen, I really do!

I think my annual trip to the valley of the sun is back on track for this year....if it is...I want to meet you and hopefully have lunch or something....I think from 9/8-14....

UCF announcement
 

To quote Gamma Phi Beta -
"Who's ready to jump and scream for joy?!? Gamma Phi Beta Sorority will proudly join the Greek Council - UCF at the University of Central Florida in fall 2013! Congratulations to our Panhellenic sisters at Delta Zeta Sorority as well - they will join the Greek community next fall. It's a great day to be a GPB

Welcome to UCF, DZ and Gamma Phi Beta! You are joining a campus with a true spirit of Panhellenism, and I can't wait to see your letters represented at my alma mater!

Definitely! But it will have to be the 8th since I leave for Paris on the 9th.:o We can go to dinner...my treat!!:D

Wow! That is fantastic news for Gamma Phi!:)

I'm so excited for our two new sororities at UCF! So what exactly happens when they colonize?

UCFKnight, there are TONS of expansion threads but in short, probably after recruitment the colony will hold an informational event (or a couple), then hold interviews, then have a pledging ceremony for colony members, and then all the real work begins! Depending on the campus (and UCF will probably be like this) HUNDREDS of girls could be interested in membership so it has to be a very organized process and it is at least as competitive as formal recruitment. They will probably pledge in the range of total, although it is up to the sorority to decide how many members they want to take, and it is usually from all 4 years of college, so it's a great opportunity for women who feel like they missed the boat.

The EXACT structure varies a little by sorority, but here are some GENERAL info threads about colony recruitment:

You know what, that just might work out...cause the weekend will be insane...

we will work out details as the date gets closer!

Delta Zetas are very excited to be a part of the UCF Panhellenic. What a neat campus. If UCF has the second largest student population, is UTexas the largest?

Just wanted to share some trivia I noticed about the ASU chapters that became part of this thread. No single letter chapters at ASU but a lot of similiarities:
Arizona State University:
Gamma Phi Beta Beta Kappa
Sigma Sigma Sigma Beta Kappa
Alpha Phi Gamma Pi
Delta Gamma Gamma Phi
Kappa Alpha Theta Delta Epsilon
Kappa Kappa Gamma Epsilon Delta
Alpha Chi Omega Zeta Pi
Delta Zeta Pi Zeta

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. While I am in Texas now (probably why I thought UT was the largest), I grew up right by Arizona State College, now University, and apparently the largest. We Phonecians never saw that coming! Three of the top ten in the Department of Education list are Florida Universities and none are in New York or California. That surprises me too. I don't know how far such lists would go back but I would guess that a late as WWI the largest universities were private - Harvard, Yale ...

Minnesota seems very misplaced here. I thought it was among the smallest of the Big 10. If I get a minute I'll see what I can find.

OK, I found one list that put them 4th, one at 11th and one at 14th. Part of it is they have a relatively huge graduate student population of 20K versus 31K. Looking at the undergrad numbers I get a list closer to what I was expecting:
1 University of Central Florida a[›] Orlando, Florida 45,398[1] 2 Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio 41,348[2] 3 Arizona State University a[›] Tempe, Arizona 41,256[3] 4 Rutgers University New Brunswick, New Jersey 38,902[4][clarification needed] 5 Texas A&M University a[›] College Station, Texas 38,810[5] 6 Pennsylvania State University University Park, Pennsylvania 38,630[6] 7 University of Texas at Austin a[›] Austin, Texas 38,168[7] 8 University of South Florida a[›] Tampa, Florida 36,595[8] 9 Michigan State University East Lansing, Michigan 36,489[9] 10 University of Florida a[›] Gainesville, Florida 33,628[10]
