Do you know that AST and ZTA weren't selected or are you speculating? It could be that they withdrew themselves. Sometimes groups do that if they don't have a good feel or think they aren't the right fit.

I was actually really surprised to see that ZBT has three chapters in Arkansas - they're not considered a particularly southern group.

According to their website, the ZBT chapters were all founded after 1999. ZBT has made a concentrated effort in expansion in the past 10 years.

As for AST and ZTA - my comments about their not being invited to colonize are pure speculation on my part. I certainly did not mean to imply that UAFS found them lacking or secondary. I have great respect for both and great love for Zeta in particular (I was selected as a Zeta Beau in college). I don't know the reasons why they either were not selected or did not choose to colonize. I only wanted to bring up the point that I was surprised that these two organizations, that already have chapters and presumably many alumnae in the state, were not colonizing.

Again, my wish is for a successful colonization for Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Alpha, and Sigma Nu. It is an exciting event for all 4 organizations, the new UAFS Greek Life, and all Arkansas Greeks.

LaneSig, I think LXA is still at Your Alma Mater, Ark. State.

It is still listed on IHQ Page. But of course that doesnt mean much in todays age!:(

Tom -

Check again, I have it listed.:)

The Lambda Chi house is next door to Sigma Chi house at ASU. I had several friends who were Lambda Chis at ASU. We got along okay with them when I was there. Now there is a big rivalry between the houses. Just as long as you and I get along, everything is okay by me. :D

Bump

This has been mentioned in the expansion list, but I thought I would post it here. The two sororities, Delta Gamma and Gamma Phi Beta, took a collective number of 46 women. The news story has some pictures and lists the names of the women.

Interestingly, if you go to the UA-Fort Smith home page, they will show pictures of students in the headline banner. At least two of the young ladies are shown in the banner picture.

Congrats to these women, they all look so excited!

Congratulations to these two fine Sororities and the women who are now members!

Expansion notices are always nice to hear about!

A+++++++'s:D
