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
