Ok, I heard that they had expansion presentations from Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta and Kappa Delta. DG will be colonizing this semester, and KD will colonize in 2009, which is awesome because they'll be bringing back two chapters that have been gone for awhile, both of which were part of the original group of sororities on their campus.

Delta Gamma will begin recolonizing at University of North Texas next month.

News Briefs:
Gamma Nu Chapter to be Re-colonized

If you are aware of any women who are interested in Delta Gamma, please have them contact Tracey Williams at tracey@deltagamma.org. Please send sponsor forms to Tracey also.

This just announced...
 

University of California, Santa Cruz, is home to Kappa's newest colony.

Yay congrats!

Do you know which local Kappa is absorbing at UCSC? I see 4 listed on their website - Alpha Psi, Kappa Zeta, Chi Chi Chi, and Nu Beta Omicron.

And do they have websites? I poked around but didn't find one for the locals or for Gamma Phi Beta.

The article didn't mention which one--I was curious as well.

They absorbed Alpha Sigma Delta.

I just found out TKE now has a colony at the College of Staten Island. They will be absorbing the local fraternity Delta Tau Omega.

Congratulations to The "Fraters" of TKE!:)

Loyola - Chicago
 

Has anyone heard anything about Loyola in Chicago or Trinity Christian University(TCU) in Fort Worth? I heard they were both open for expansion, but can't find anything...

thanks!

KKG was chosen at Loyola. Don't know about the other one.

That would be Texas Christian University, but so far I haven't heard anything except that they will be expanding. I'll nose around and see if I can find out something.

Kappa Sigma is colonizing at Florida Atlantic University.

Just curious if anyone has heard any updates on the USC NPC expansion.

Good news, LaneSig.

TCU is having presentations this week.

USC has made its selection. Congrats to








































I'm not telling!;)

Ah, you're mean. lol

Congratulations to Gamma Phi Beta and Delta Gamma

The new Greek System at University of Arkansas - Fort Smith accepted 46 ladies into your respected sisterhoods. Congratulations.

aopirose, do you know who is presenting at TCU? I swear, it is next to impossible to find out anything and I'm right here in town!

According to the paper, Alpha Phi, DZ and Gamma Phi Beta were invited to present.

Which USC - U of Southern Cal at LA??

Did AEPhi present?

Yep, that is the correct USC. While I don't know officially whether or not they presented I would be very suprised if they didn't. It would have been a recolonization, there are plenty of alumnae in the area from our other Cali chapters including UCLA and a former national council member is one of their greek advisors plus it was a jewish-interest sorority

I am actually really surprised we didn't get it but congratulations to SDT.

I had no idea that UNF was expanding. That school has really grown over the last few years.

Yeah, it has! If I can remember correctly, they will be building houses soon (how soon, I don't know).

FYI: This will be a re-colonization for Theta Phi Alpha.

Fantastic and Congratulations to The Ladys of ZTA!:)

My daughter, a freshman DZ at the University of Alabama, heard there were approximately 2,000 pnms signed up for Fall 2007 recruitment. The source may be hearsay originating at the DZ house, the Greek Life Office, or the local pub, for all I know. However, UA had over 1,400 pnms sign up for recruitment last Fall. By the year 2010, the University of Alabama expects to increase student enrollment by 8,000 students, including graduate and law students, so you might expect the number of pnms to increase proportionately each year. Moreover, the pnm total for the past few years has increased by one to two hundred per year. If the estimated number of 2,000 pnms for Fall 2007 is true, how does the University accommodate so many young ladies? Will there likely be further colonization by non-represented sororities to fulfill the demand for Greek membership? The current houses on campus can only handle a finite number of actives, right? Any thoughts or comments?

According to their Greek Life website, the number of Greeks has tripled this past year. They recently added Delta Upsilon to their IFC chapters.

The problem at Alabama (and other Southern schools that are steeped in tradition) is that a new sorority is looked at somewhat askance. Women would rather be in no sorority at all (or a chapter with 300 women that they barely know) than the "wrong" sorority.

The NPC sororities that aren't represented there are quite aware of this and as you would imagine, very reluctant to sink hundreds of thousands of dollars into a colonization effort that may not pan out.

Gotta be rumor...very few sign up this early. Forms are not even up yet on the Panhellenic Web site. Most sign up during or after summer orientation sessions. But sororities are beginning to prepare now for fall recruitment. There's probably a lot of talk, especially with Dr. Witt's famous campaign to increase enrollment. I would not be surprised if recruitment figures hit 2,000 in two to four years. Looks like expansion is inevitable. But don't expect that Panhellenic to be happy about it...or for life to be easy for the new group(s) on the block. We're talking an investment of several million for a house...and nobody knows where they would be. It'll be interesting....

Does anyone know when the expansion will actually take place? In the fall or this expansion still in the works? My cousin goes there and I was telling her she should really give recruitment a shot and with Theta on board it might give her something to be very active in!

THIS JUST IN
 

Gamma Phi Beta has been selected to colonize at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth in the fall of '07.

Just got the email!!!

Alpha Xi Delta
 

Alpha Xi Delta presented at Knox College (where our Alpha chapter moved after Lombard College closed) but Kappa Kappa Gamma will charter there instead.

Congratulations Gamma Phi on TCU!!

U. of Missouri Opening for NPC Colonization

According to the March 2 '07 online issue of the student paper, the U. of Missouri Panhellenic will be looking for another NPC sorority to come to campus. The paper indicates that NPC has been informed. See:

Be nice to bring SK back *crosses fingers* though it may be too early.
