Zounds. I can't even. So just one house, missing quota, is holding them back from expansion (or were there special circumstances)?

I have wondered why there has been no talk of expansion there. It seems ripe for growth. And with numbers like that it could actually help the smaller chapter since it's not like their chapter size is puny.

Alpha Delta Pi's Alpha Alpha chapter was there until 1985, but that doesn't mean that they/we should necessarily have first rights of colonization.

Looks like AOII was there until 2008. Maybe they have an agreement. Not that I have anything to do with it, but I'd take a pass there for us. No chapters in the state, never been on that campus. Looking more towards the SEC.

According to the AOII kappa lambda chapter's facebook page, the University of Calgary's recruitment is Sep 22 thru Oct.1

You're coming back to Michigan, though. We're hardly SEC. :) (I was there when the chapter closed and I am excited for the colonization. I wish you all the best!)

Oh definitely. Not for us, but for someone!

University of San Francisco:

Delta Zeta: 84
Kappa Alpha Theta: 95

Holy Moly.

Next up: DDD colonization.

Alpha Xi isn't scheduled for recolonization at Michigan that I know of. Maybe someday though.

I was friends with an old broad who had been in the chapter at Michigan. Regarding expansion there she said nope, not gonna happen, never ever, over my dead body. And then she would get very cranky. I have no idea what the bad feelings were about but wow, if she is indicative of the feelings of members from that era, it is going to be 10 years or more before we could even begin to consider expansion back to Michigan. We seem to have done just fine at MSU, but we all know they are totally different environments.

Just a note of thanks to everyone who has been providing data to be entered into the googledoc. Blank spaces make my OCD go kinda bonkers so I love love love when we have notations for every chapter at a school. Now, if I could be so bold as to make a request, MA and MI are sadly lacking in data. Anyone ready to do some stalking on our behalf?

^^^ Most campuses in Michigan are still recruiting, so it's too early for much info.

Michigan State quota was 59 and Gamma Phi Beta has 67 new members.

Oops...totally misread your post. Sorry! I would love for Alpha Xi to come back to Michigan too. So glad they're back here at Wisconsin. My student worker last year joined and she loves it.

ETA: @DubaiSis: I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know what happened. I know the chapter was struggling a bit when I left, but I don't know what ultimately led to the chapter closing. I had a lot of friends in the chapter. Things have changed a lot since I was there...

When I went through rush in 1981, Alpha Xi was the smallest chapter at Michigan...pre-RFM and the writing was on the wall that they wouldn't be able to hang on much longer, so no one wanted to join the "doomed" chapter. I thought the chapter had closed shortly thereafter, but the listing here says 2000, so I think there must have been a recolonization/reorg in there at some point. Our chapter at Michigan did that in the mid-90s, too, and it didn't work, either. And those weren't the only ones. RFM has really helped at Michigan.
