And Johns Hopkins is not in DC.

And neither is Swarthmore...the reason I point this out is because these chapters are in "swankier" areas of the suburbs of Philadelphia, while chapters at Drexel, Temple, Penn, USP, PU, LaSalle, St. Joe's, etc. are actually in the city.

There is also Alpha Xi Delta, and ZTA at both of those schools. To my knowledge, they do not associate much.

Alpha Delta Pi has a chapter at GATech and Emory-again, not sure if they associate much or not.
There are also Sigma Nu, Pi Kappa Phi and TKE chapters at Ga TEch, Southern polyTech, and Georgia State. I don't know if they do stuff together or not.

So Atlanta has many "twins"!

edited b/c I wanted my facts straight.


That is so sad that they have nothing to do with each other. You would think they would get to gether at the Varsity or something and have a blast or a major mixer.

Well, I'm guessing the girls at a tech school might not have a lot in common with girls at a general-interest school.

About hanging out with the other chapters in the city...
Even though the Duquesne chapter of Delta Zeta was literally right down the street from our chapter (and it was our chapter that did their initiation when they were installed), we never once got together. Same with the Robert Morris chapter, that wasn't very far either.

Now that I think about it, though, as a chapter we pretty much kept to ourselves. We didn't do things with the other sororities at Pitt and, even at Province Day, we hung out with each other and didn't really associate with sisters from the other chapters in the province.

I guess we were just anti-social like that.

Lambda Chi Alpha, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, and Sigma Chi each have two chapters here in Jacksonville. one at University of North Florida and Jacksonville University

I guess you could also say that Alpha Phi has two chapters in St. Louis also. One at Washington University, and one in the Illinois suburbs at SIUE. (I think it counts since I can look out my office window and see the Gateway Arch!)

If mass transit connects the SIUE campus to downtown St. Louis, I'll give you credit. I'm not sure about everyone else, we have some strict graders here. ;)

BSUPhiSig'92 01-05-2004 06:24 PM

Well, mass transit does connect, but the chapters don't have anything to do with each other. We are two VERY different institutions, and attract very dissimilar students.

When I was in college in upstate New York, my chapter did things with many of the local chapters. Albany and Oneonta visited us. We visited Syracuse, Cornell, and Cortland. My pledge class visited Temple. The previous PC visited Maryland. The following PC visited Keene State. We always had road trips because upstate NY can be boring. ;)

Delta Gamma has 2 chapters in St. Louis--one at Washington University and one at St. Louis University. Wash. U. is technically on unincorporated land (right across from the city limits) and is literally a 5-10 min. drive to SLU...so I think that's close enough:) . Unless it's Founder's Day, our chapters DO NOT get together. Some of it has to do with an incident that ocurred between the chapters (PM me if you really want to know, it's not something serious), some of it has to do with the fact that our chapters are very different and don't have much in common.
DG also has a chapter at Mizzou (University of Missouri-Columbia) which is about a 30-45 min. drive from St. Louis. The Wash. U. Chapter did our final Rush Retreat for a number of years at their house since they got back from break later than we did. It was great of them to loan us their house for a weekend so we could get away and really bond (Wash. U. has no houses)--if any of you are on this board, thanks! We never met the Mizzou DGs...but their house is gorgeous!

Zeta Tau Alpha has chapters at both University of Dayton and Wright State University. Theta Phi Alpha is supposed to start their colonization process at WSU sometime this year, and already has a very active chapter at UD.

UD is in the city of Dayton, and Wright State has a Dayton mailing address, even though they pay income taxes to Fairborn (a burb) so I suppose that counts ;)
