LaneSig and shadokat have no listing for an Elon AEPhi chapter, so may I assume it's a new AEPhi colony?

Xidelt 02-08-2025 05:03 PM

It is a new chapter on Elon's campus.

SWTXBelle 02-09-2025 01:51 PM

I don't know how I messed it up, but I swanee I saw it as Tri Delta on the U of Richmond newspaper; I'm happy to acknowledge I was wrong. I'm trying to delete my original post. It's Pi Beta Phi, alas, that is closing.

The following organizations are presenting at Shenandoah:

Sigma Nu: 2/17/25
Phi Mu Delta: 2/26/25

Alpha Gamma Delta: 3/4/25
Theta Phi Alpha: 3/5/25

I found this info in the "events" sections.

The Alpha Gamma Delta chapter at Nebraska Wesleyan University is closing. Closure is due to membership numbers. The chapter had been chartered in 1927.

With the enrollment dropping at most smaller universities (and small universities closing), we will probably see more of this. I have read several articles about the declining number of 18-yr-olds, and we about to hit larger drop.

I have been advising at small chapters for several year now, and small chapters (under 40) are always hanging by a thread. It can be very difficult to get a full officer team that actually does all their tasks when that officer team is 40% of the chapter. Not to mention the chapter has to have a high % of members pay on time and maintain grades. So, there is a big difference between 2 members not paying and 4 members not paying.

At my Alma mater (and sadly my own chapter is closing when the year ends) every chapter had to do COB, even the ones that historically have never done it in the past. When I left the school had about 7k enrolled.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon has been suspended from Miami University (OH) due to hazing. Read the article at your own risk it’s horrible. :(

SUSPENDED?? Close their ass—period.

I'm going to try to go to the ceremony where the actives become alumni (it's a close drive for me.) but hearing everyone had to COB was shocking.

PGD-GRAD 03-03-2025 08:14 PM

I’m so sorry, too, Cookiez17. My original chapter closed several years ago due to similar circumstances. Fortunately, I’ve advised another chapter for 25 years, and they honored me by making me a duel initiate.

And while I love my “adopted” brothers, I still ache a bit for my “home” chapter and my pledge brothers, who—like me—are now all 50+ year initiates.

That's awesome. The one I'm volunteering with currently welcomed me with open arms, even though I'm in a remote role. I certainly took "membership for life" and went into volunteering ASAP!

Kappa Alpha Theta will be returning to the University of Michigan in Winter 2026!! Between this and the return to the University of South Carolina these are gonna be huge!

We are colonizing at Nova Southeastern University (FL) during Fall ‘25. I am excited because I spend a lot of my retired time in Ft Lauderdale and I going to assist with the colony.
