The press release indicates that TPA is hoping to re-establish there in the future when conditions are better.

That is good nationals is considering coming back soon. I was so happy about the colonizations since the chapter was on a "new to greek life" campus.

Our Cal-Fullerton colony has 35 associates. Welcome back!

LaneSig, how are you able to find which campuses are open to expansion? Do they usually announce on their websites or should I just follow every single university's FSL instagram pages?

Also, Sigma Iota Sigma is chartering a new chapter in Rockland County

Two new campuses have opened up for expansion:

Iona University(NY)- previously opened

Shenandoah University(VA)- new FSL system (?); I found a chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma existed briefly from 1997-1999. I cannot find any existence of an NPC or NPHC group having been on campus

Oh dang Iona is doing IFC expansion too? I’m really excited to see where it goes.

I guess after the fiasco with wanting to make the locals go national, the figured just add on chapters and leave the locals alone. Montclair state has a similar set up.

Actually Shenandoah U is in Virginia. My recall as I have several friends and family who attended late 90s/2000s no previous NPC or NPHC group was on campus. Although their campus housing is a bit unique as several of the residence halls are housed in old hotels that closed (i.e. think Quality Inn/Red Roof Inn etc.)

Thanks for the catch. My mind always associates the name Shenandoah with West Virginia for some reason.

Well, Winchester is super close to the WV state line. So you weren't too far off geographically.

Probably because of John Denver.

I get my information various ways. I do check out the official websites, along with Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Some people will send me information that they would liked shared.

It isn't until Jan. of 2026, but I'm too excited to wait! Gamma Phi Beta will be returning to Northwestern! https://dailynorthwestern.com/2024/1...DwCkeU2Cvcnulg

I'm so happy they're returning after all the crap Northwestern went through with their greek system. I hope the other chapters can return at some point too!

I'm very happy for the Epsilon chapter alumnae. I do think that Daily Northwestern headline is misleading, as the chapter wasn't "suspended" in the usual definition of that word.

I'm so glad for GPhiB and Northwestern University that this chapter will be returning to campus.


Question-At one point around 2020 wasn't Northwestern Panhellenic trying to completely disband and wanted to prevent any possible future reestablishment of closed chapters?

Oh lord thank goodness it didn't happen. Tri Delta nearly was shut down too, but the housing corp worked hard to keep it open. The chapter is still there and is thriving.
