DG still owns their house. The U is using it as the "University House" but if DG comes back, they get their house back. At least, that's what AOII was told when we came on. We used it for part of colony recruitment but it was not available to us after that. It is a great location and I hope DG can come back. They have a good alumnae base along with the house. It may need to be expanded. It seems like it was smaller than the other houses, but I could be wrong about that. It's a pretty house too. |

Interesting. Just found this online.
Phi Mu re-established their Alpha Beta Chapter in 2012 and will build their new home on Maple Street. The article is 6 months old. I hope this is true that Phi Mu has a lot on Maple! If they do, my Fayetteville contacts don't know about it, but hopefully progress has been made! |

You're right, Futrall is behind DG and Holcombe is behind Phi Mu/Theta. |
This thread is magic, Texas Tech and U of Florida are now open, or just really good at predicting haha

I might know more come August; a close family friend will be going through recruitment there this fall! |

Re Colgate, just cause I got curious. Looking at the chapter websites, one only has 110 members. Is that chapter small/below total, was this quota of 65 some weird spike, or does the system have a retention problem?

Colgate: You must be sophomore level to go through recruitment. It's a retention issue, though heaven knows there aren't many places to live in Hamilton, and there have been some town/gown issues in the past. I love, love, love the GPB blue house.
|
Clarification for Colgate: All of the groups have a retention issue. New member classes are huge because there are only 3 NPC groups, and, if you can dig up older copies of the University paper, the administration has not been Greek-friendly. Theta closed at Colgate roughly the same time that it closed at Johns Hopkins. Like JHU (now recolonized), I think Theta has an agreement to return at some point to Colgate.

Re: Arkansas Lots - Yes. If you follow this link, and go to page 3 there is a better visual of where the two lots and houses will be: http://planning.uark.edu/capital_bud...phimu_arch.pdf

As some of you know, UA knocked down my grandmother's house after she died and the AOII House now backs right up to her former property. They built a huge parking lot over it. Now I guess they'll rip up the parking lot and part of the Phi Mu house will be on it, no matter which site is used.
I hope they treat her poodle's grave with respect. |

Exactly. Colgate Panhellenic believes that an optimal chapter size is around 100 to 120, and the chapters are far too large. (A similar argument in favor of expansion was made at W&L before ADPi colonized.) At least one women's group on campus has made the case (a la Dartmouth) for gender parity -- an equal number of fraternities and sororities. A lot of these letters are (or were) available on the University website. A very interesting University -- high academics and selectivity make it desirable, but there is a bucketful of challenges as well. Advising is a challenge -- a lot can be done long-distance, but Utica is the closest city and there isn't a large grad program (where there may be alumnae students). Syracuse/Manlius is a good 30 miles west.

I was really hoping we would get it the last time y'all opened. Sigh. Perhaps the next time.
|
University of Kentucky will be opening in the next year or so. There was interest expressed by Sigma Kappa (re-opening their chapter that closed here several years ago) but I believed they either passed on that opportunity.
After recruitment this coming August, chapter total will be approaching 250+ most likely which is far too large for this campus. |

Granted that was back in the last century. :cool: |
Yeah, me too. I was at UK 93-96 at total was 90. it's 220 now, I'm expecting a pledge class of 85-100 (last year quota was 82) which will push total up to around 250 I suspect.
it's crazy. None of these houses were designed to handle chapters this big. It's great that the system is as successful as it is, but we need another chapter. Kinda sad Sigma Kappa didn't decide to return this fall. Hopefully they'll be part of the discussion when it officially opens for expansion. |
I would love for us to recolonize our Xi chapter at UK
|
Does anyone know if U of F has made a decision concerning bringing another sorority to campus?

UF is open for extension. They voted last spring. PC is putting together a team for the presentations of the groups that are interested. Presentations will take place this fall with the hopes of the new house colonizing in 2015. There are now lots available to build a house (a must at UF) over by fraternity row. It will be interesting to see who presents! There are three NPCs with closed chapters but two of them are smaller and I am not sure what their ability would be to build a house right away.

ETA: Sorry to cross-post with you gg! |
Regarding UF, I know they're open for expansion. I don't know anything about if or who has submitted packets. I think presentations would be in the fall, because the sorority is supposed to colonize Fall 2015.
And regarding UK, fingers crossed, for if and when they open |
ggforever and irishpipes beat me to it

Thank you
Thank you for all of your replies.

Without worrying our pretty little heads about pesky little problems like housing, both Iowa and Mizzou need to open.

The exception being Alpha Phi. Phi Mu had a successful recruitment year this fall I 'm glad to report. But since I've graduated, darks ages ago like TSteven, ZTA, Alpha XI Delta, and Gamma Phi Beta have closed. Sigma Kappa has come and gone, and I believe DZ recolonized after a brief hiatus. In the early 1970's we had an Alpha Chi Omega chapter that colonized the same year as Gamma Phi. Neither lasted long. I heard a rumour several years ago that Alpha Chi was a potential recolonization. That would be great as there are no other AXO chapters in Kentucky, and I know several Ky girls pledged at Alabama in the last few years. |
Total is now 249 at Kentucky. For a "less Greek" SEC school, that's an awfully big number!
|
Another school to watch will be East Carolina after two years of record breaking numbers. The only drawback at ECU is finding viable housing.

UNC-Wilmington
Who is presenting at UNC-Wilmington?
|
Apparently Delta Gamma, via the NPC thread. I must've missed the announcement that UNCW was open
