Mea Culpa. I am doing what I get on to my students about all the time. Thank you for re-stating what it means.

Little early but

Alpha Chi Omega will be colonizing at Mississippi State University in Fall 2022 via https://www.instagram.com/p/CHieTnrFj3k/

Wow, it's been five years since Mississippi State opened for extension. Anyone here understand the reasons this campus needed five years to announce a colonizing group?

If a sorority used to be there and had a rough time, it's hard to decide to come back. Deep Southerners have long memories.

Gonna guess they were making sure the chapters were near or at total before bringing the new group on.

It's cool that Alpha Chi will be starting up at Ole Miss next year and then Mississippi State the year after.

That's interesting - Alpha Chi Omega is full speed ahead with extensions. They have:

-- University of Rhode Island - Fall 2021

-- University of Mississippi - Fall 2021

-- Chapman University - Spring 2022

-- Mississippi State University - Fall 2022

Theta Phi Alpha installed their Delta Xi chapter at Mount St. Joseph University this past weekend.

Their housing changed over the years -- 805 Richmond from 1930-1935. When I was in school they were kitty-corner at 600 E. Hitt (AEPhi was at 805). Delta Sig returned to 805 sometime in the past 20 years. [It would be interesting to do a title search for these properties. The Mizzou Phi Mu house was occupied by Lambda Chi for decades but when Phi Mu recolonized (after a 50+ year hiatus) they moved back.)

The University of Iowa chapter of Acacia Fraternity has been closed. Closure is due to hazing and RMF.

Subjecting new members to this is horrible. This is not brotherhood.

LaneSig, I want to thank you for keeping this thread active! I rarely add anything, but do appreciate knowing what's up with GLO chapters!

Sigma Alpha Epsilon has been suspended for two years by the University of Kentucky. Suspension is due to failure to comply with COVID-19 restrictions, alcohol policy, and violations of the student code of conduct.

Pi Beta Phi at Washington University has been closed following a vote of collegiate chapter members affirming the chapter’s desire to disband.

https://www.pibetaphi.org/pibetaphi/...gentry?id=1356

These announced votes to disband make me curious how many NPC chapters we DON'T hear about which have voted to close. Just how broken is the greek system, and how many undergraduate women will be left standing to keep it alive?

Wow...”founded in 1907”. That’s over a century of history and thousands of women initiated. I wonder if the current members reached out for alumnae input before making this decision?
While all these disbanding are, ultimately, the decision of current sisters, do they consider the disenfranchisement that’s a by-product of all this?

With this in mind, I wonder how many NPC chapters took the same vote, and decided that their sisterhoods would benefit more from working from within? We never seem to hear about those chapters.

Stockton University(NJ) has invited the following IFC organizations to colonize:

Phi Mu Delta (Spring '21)
Alpha Sigma Phi (Spring '22) (recolonization)
Delta Upsilon (Fall '23)


Phi Delta Theta has colonized at Arkansas State University. They currently have 39 pledges.

Phi Delt has also recolonized at Washington State University with 28 pledges.

This was done earlier this semester. I am told by some who know that Pi Phi would never close just because of a chapter's vote, but that they look at the campus culture and decide whether, at this time, the school/Greek situation is so toxic that they would just as soon close for now.

I think they'll be back.

Congratulations to Alpha Sigma Phi on their recent chartering at the University of Alaska.

No. I've looked at the Greek Life sections on both campuses. UA-Anchorage has had a chapter since 2017. UA-Fairbanks does not have an Alpha Sig chapter listed.

The Alpha Sigma Phi website only shows the newest chapter (Iota Zeta) listed. So, two scenarios:

1- The UA-A chapter has been a colony since '17 and finally got their charter (quite common in the IFC world to take 2-3 years to get a charter); or, the AU-A chapter has closed and they've not updated their Greek Life website.

2- The new chapter is at UA-F and UA-F has not updated their website.


Additionally, Alpha Sigma Phi charted their colony at SUNY-Farmingdale State College. Congratulations to all of Alpha Sigma Phi's new members.

Pi Beta Phi will be colonizing at The University of Miami in spring 2021. Their instagram is here https://www.instagram.com/umiamipiphi/

Huh. I don't even remember Miami opening for another chapter.

I remember when Kappa closed they were going to have them come back in 2022 but I guess they opened up for another chapter to come in. I'n not familiar with the quota/totals there so maybe the houses were all hitting it and recruitment numbers were going up.

Oh man. I just looked it up and that school has had more chapters fail than succeed. And most who are there now are recolonizations.

Hopefully Pi Phi can have a strong recruitment and be competitive! I only know DG left because of hazing/alcohol violations and Kappa was because of low numbers.

Congratulations to Alpha Sigma Phi on their recent chartering at Coastal Carolina University(SC).

My fall/winter 2020 edition of The Adelphean shared that ADPi has closed our Theta Tau chapter at the University of Pennsylvania. This isn't surprising, given that they had struggled in membership size and recruitment from their establishment onwards, but I'm still sad for the Philly-area alumnae and collegians.

Kappa Alpha Order has been closed at the University of Tennessee. Closure is due to RMF.

Delta Chi will be colonizing at Quinnipiac University in Fall 2021. from https://www.instagram.com/p/CKE5plHFWc9/

Bloomsburg University(PA) has rescinded recognition of Kappa Delta Rho and Lambda Chi Alpha due to RMF. A local fraternity (Sigma Iota Omega) and a local sorority (Chi Theta Pi) have also been closed for a minimum of 4 years.

Kappa Sigma has closed its chapter at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Closure is due to "violations of the fraternity's code of conduct".

Pi Kappa Alpha has suspended its Alpha Rho chapter at The Ohio State University for failing to "collectively live up to the standards and violations of University policy". The international fraternity and the University have both agreed on the closure.

Theta Phi Alpha installed their Delta Omicron chapter at Southern New Hampshire University this weekend.

The AOII chapter at Washington University in St Louis has been closed due to the Abolish Greek Life movement. The chapter was no longer viable.

Abolish this, students with an inflated sense of yourselves :mad:

Can you explain what you mean? Did the chapter elect to relinquish their charter because they no longer support Greek life or did AGL proponents disrupt this chapter's ability to have successful operations?

YES.

The atmosphere for Greek life has become toxic at Wash U. It has been particularly hard on sororities with all of them down to membership numbers in the 20s and 30s. AOII did have members who wanted to continue but it was not viable for them to be able to. What makes me the most sad about this is the bullying and sheer vile that all of our chapter members are enduring and a University that has seemingly washed its hands of it.

Two local sororities at the University of Texas-Permian Basin are looking to affiliate with NPC sororities. The campus is open for expansion.

There are currently no NPC, NPHC, or MCGO sororities at UTPB. There is one NIC, Kappa Delta Rho.

What a shame. :( Thank you for clarifying.

I have a friend (sorority member) whose young adult daughter (non-Greek) is pursuing a graduate degree at Wash U. She told her mom that she’s teaching some classes as an adjunct and that she’s heard that the current sorority memberships run “between 5 and 25-30”. If that’s right—GOOD GRIEF! She also told her mom that a faculty member told her all the sororities bled members over the summer and are badly compromised (if that’s true).
So why has the Greek Life Office not stepped in to help? They MUST know that a good % of alumni/ae donation come from Greek members.

JayhawkAOII is correct—the atmosphere MUST be toxic! How do you even recruit in that environment?
