Kappa Alpha Order just posted on FB that they are returning to West Virginia Univ Fall 2026.

Wait, Pi Phi is going to Georgia College? This is all I can find on the website.
Pi Phi's Newest Chapters: Miami University in Oxford, Ohio | Spring 2024 University of Wisconsin–Green Bay in Green Bay, Wisconsin | Fall 2021 University of Miami in Miami, Florida | Spring 2021 |
Our only confirmed (announced) expansion is UCLA (recharter) during Fall 2026. There are other expansions but they have not been officially announced.
|
I made a mistake earlier in the NPC listings. Pi Beta Phi has been invited to establish at Georgia College & State University; however, they will not establish until Fall 2027.
|
Alpha Gamma Delta is re-establishing at Virginia Tech - Spring 2027
|
"Gamma Phi Beta will be the first NPC sorority at Texas A&M - San Antonio. Per IHQ announcement: "We're so excited to announce Gamma Phi Beta is joining Texas A&M University–San Antonio as the first National Panhellenic Conference sorority in fall of 2027!"

Alpha Phi at the University of Rhode Island is a re-establishment of our Iota Delta chapter.

Longwood surprises me. It's a small state school that already has 8 Sororities including the "The Longwood Four" |

Minnesota:
Winona State open letter for Fraternity expansion of up to two chapters. |
Quote:
They were suspended for hazing back in the day and were supposed to come back in 2019. I'm gonna assume they might have a deal in place to return but if it's opening for expansion overall we'll see who gets on. |

I have been informed that Alpha Gamma Delta will not be establishing at Hobart and William Smith’s College(NY). I apologize for the misunderstanding.
|
Delta Gamma has closed their chapter at William Woods due to decreased interest in the sorority experience and the struggle to have a meaningful sorority experience at their current membership level.
|
We have been announcing our Fall 2026 expansions on our social media (FB, IG). They are:
UCLA: Beta Rho (recharter) University of Texas: Beta Alpha (recharter) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI): Rho (recharter) UNLV: Start up interest group seeks affiliation (New chapter) |
Alpha Omicron Pi has been invited to reestablish at the University of Kentucky in Fall 2027.

Kappa Delta Chi has closed their chapter at Clarkson University due to low membership numbers. With Theta Phi closing a year earlier, that only leaves Delta Zeta and Phi Sig on campus. |
Ohio State University has revoked recognition of Pi Kappa Phi until 2036. Revocation is due to RMF.
|
The University of Arizona said it will not recognize Sigma Alpha Mu until June 2031 due to severe hazing incidents.

The local fraternity has not disclosed numbers beyond social media posts. The entire Greek system has membership of 85 including 41 new members throughout the year in 3 recognized sororities and 1 recognized fraternity per 2024-2025 numbers published by the university. |
Phi Delta Theta will be returning to Eastern Washington University this fall.

Phi Gamma Delta will be installing chapters this fall at U of Dayton (new) and
U of Utah (re-establish) this fall. We’ve also been chosen by a 40-member interest group as a colony at Sacred Heart. |
ZTA closes Upsilon Chapter at University of California, Berkeley
Looking for something else on the CAL greek website, I saw that the Upsilon chapter of ZTA at UC Berkeley had closed. I went to the national website to verify.
--------------------------- Zeta Tau Alpha closes Upsilon Chapter at University of California, Berkeley https://zetataualpha.org/news/zeta-t...nia-berkeley-2 April 6, 2026 Zeta Tau Alpha closes Upsilon Chapter at University of California, Berkeley With a heavy heart, Zeta Tau Alpha announces the closure of our Upsilon Chapter at University of California, Berkeley, effective at the end of the current semester. Zeta Tau Alpha’s commitment to ensuring a positive member experience is at the forefront of every decision we make. ZTA’s national volunteer leadership and staff have devoted extensive support, financial resources, and guidance to the chapter in an effort to increase participation and maintain long-term stability. Despite the efforts of support from the Fraternity, the chapter has shown it is unable to meet these expectations. The closing of any chapter is extremely difficult and sad for our entire sisterhood. We welcome Upsilon members into alumnae life and look forward to their continued involvement as a reminder that Zeta Is Forever. Founded in 1915 and reestablished in 2012, Upsilon Chapter will always be a treasured part of our history as the 27th link in our Chain of Chapters.
