Just so everyone can get their balls and/or ovaries out of a knot...I in no way meant to imply that AEPhi or SDT ONLY take Jewish members. I was good-naturedly ribbing exlurker for being so overly PC. :D

I just looked at the list. Wow, TKE has 9 colonies!

This sounds like a great chance for one of these groups to colonize over there. What are the current houses there? And, for the record, SDT is also historically Jewish just like AEPhi :) My chapter was split about 50/50 though neither us or AEPhi would hold parties and stuff onFri nights or jewish holidays, and we took it as far as no pledge events or anything. |
AOII is recolonizing at Virginia Commonwealth University - Fall 2007.

Just to clarify the confusion about AEPhi.
Nationally AEPhi uses the term "Jewish sorority" not "historically Jewish sorority" though we do not consider ourselves a religious organization. Since AEPhi was founded as a result of discrimination against Jews it has never required members to be Jewish because we don't want to practice discrimination ourselves. Chapters obviously should be familiar with our Jewish background and history but chapters are not required to be a certain percentage Jewish or anything like that. We have chapters with very few or no Jewish members and that is fine with national organization. In terms of USC I would be super excited if we recolonized there. It was our Xi chapter and was our second chapter out west and our first chapter in California. |
Sigma Chi's Colony at University of Tennessee-Martin will receive their charter this January.
Sigma Pi has announced that they will be establishing a colony at Florida State this spring. This will be a re-charter. They have been off campus since 2001. |
Delta Chi was selected to colonize at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in fall 2007. KA Order and Chi Phi also presented. Expansion has not occurred since the original colonization of the campus in Fall 1998. Our campus population has nearly doubled since then, so it's about time!

Wow... I'm surprised with how few men a lot of these colonies are chartering with. I'm in the new Sigma Pi colony at K-State, and we won't be allowed to charter until we have 67...

As for Siggy_lxvi's "question": different GLOs and different campuses insist on a certain level of interest prior to allowing a colony to be initiated members. Whichever is the larger number is what the colony needs to proceed. |

Delt colonization report...
Expansion Update
The expansion team at Appalachian State University wrapped up its efforts when it pledged 70 new members on Saturday, Nov. 11. The men represent sophomores, juniors and seniors. An academic leader in the fraternity world, the colony continues to promote the values of Delta Tau Delta with a 3.14 composite GPA, the highest on campus. The men of the ASU began their efforts with a six-hour retreat on Sunday, Nov. 12. The retreat focused on goal setting, vision, crafting a mission statement and discussing hurdles to the colony's success. In other expansion news, the Delta colonization at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor concluded Oct. 12 when the Fraternity pledged 53 men with a composite GPA of 3.3. The Gamma Tau colonization at University of Kansas completed Sept. 28. The colony began with 41 men with a 3.14 composite GPA. Welcome new brothers, and way to go! |
