Congratulations to Theta Chi on chartering the following universities:

North Carolina State University
University of Tennessee
Bowling Green State University(OH)

Due to all current members of the chapter voting to disaffiliate, the Alpha Phi chapter at Tufts University(MA) has been closed.

Isn't BGSU a re-charter? I have a friend who was in that chapter and is now a professor at BG. I'm sure he will be involved as an alum.

No longer recognized by the University:
Tau Kappa Epsilon, Phi Kappa Psi, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Sigma Alpha Mu, Zeta Beta Tau, Theta Tau, Sigma Pi, Phi Delta Theta, Kappa Sigma and Chi Phi

Deferred Revocation of Registration*
Pi Beta Phi and Beta Theta Pi

Social Restrictions (new term for Social Probation):
3 sororities and 1 fraternity. This status limits the number of events a chapter can hold but does not prohibit all events

Chapters formerly on social restrictions but still on a Disciplinary Probation:
1 sorority and one fraternity

Chapters where all charges have been removed:
One Fraternity

*Defererred Revocation of Registration - This sanction means the charge could have been grounds for removal, however enough mitigating factors were in place (the chapter has shown a willingness to work with the university and their headquarters to better their members and ensure situations like this do not happen again). If the chapter were to have another incident that would show a failure to comply with their sanction, the University could remove the chapter from being a recognized organization.

The needle keeps moving!

Alpha Tau Omega has been moved added to Deferred Revocation of Registration (Pi Phi and Beta continue at that status). No other changes this week.

Pi Kappa Phi has been closed at the University of Kansas. Closure is due to RMF.

Any idea what that means?

Yes, I had posted it a few pages back. It's basically, "this is your last chance".

Because there were so many groups breaking University rules but of different levels of egregiousness, the University came up with something between "Social Restrictions" (new name for Social Probation and the restrictions vary from case to case) and "No Longer Recognized" (kicked off campus)

Defererred Revocation of Registration - This sanction means the charge could have been grounds for removal, however enough mitigating factors were in place (the chapter has shown a willingness to work with the university and their headquarters to better their members and ensure situations like this do not happen again).

Mea Culpa. I am doing what I get on to my students about all the time. Thank you for re-stating what it means.

Wow, it's been five years since Mississippi State opened for extension. Anyone here understand the reasons this campus needed five years to announce a colonizing group?

If a sorority used to be there and had a rough time, it's hard to decide to come back. Deep Southerners have long memories.

Gonna guess they were making sure the chapters were near or at total before bringing the new group on.

It's cool that Alpha Chi will be starting up at Ole Miss next year and then Mississippi State the year after.

That's interesting - Alpha Chi Omega is full speed ahead with extensions. They have:

-- University of Rhode Island - Fall 2021

-- University of Mississippi - Fall 2021

-- Chapman University - Spring 2022

-- Mississippi State University - Fall 2022

Theta Phi Alpha installed their Delta Xi chapter at Mount St. Joseph University this past weekend.

Delta Sigma Phi at Mizzou.
https://www.kshb.com/news/local-news...s-indefinitely

Their housing changed over the years -- 805 Richmond from 1930-1935. When I was in school they were kitty-corner at 600 E. Hitt (AEPhi was at 805). Delta Sig returned to 805 sometime in the past 20 years. [It would be interesting to do a title search for these properties. The Mizzou Phi Mu house was occupied by Lambda Chi for decades but when Phi Mu recolonized (after a 50+ year hiatus) they moved back.)

The University of Iowa chapter of Acacia Fraternity has been closed. Closure is due to hazing and RMF.

Subjecting new members to this is horrible. This is not brotherhood.

LaneSig, I want to thank you for keeping this thread active! I rarely add anything, but do appreciate knowing what's up with GLO chapters!
