Re: NPC Sororities in the SEC
 

Unfortunately, our chapters at those schools have closed, or else we would also have been at all 12 SEC schools :(

BetaRose, great job! I wouldn't even begin to know how to conduct this kind of search! :)

I didn't see Delta Gamma on the list; and they seem to be everywhere in the South!

Oops! I've added them to the 9 schools group now. :)

So Phi Mu did close. how sad they were great. I know they took over the DG house when they were on campus. I wonder what there doing with that house. i loved it soooooo pretty!:D

Thank you, BetaRose.

Re: UK
 

It was my understanding that Alpha Xi Delta's chapter at UK closed again in Fall 2003.

Ole Miss has 9 NPCs right now but Panhellenic is looking at the possibility of expansion soon! With a little over 900 PNMs this past fall for recruitment, the numbers are expected to go up!

Active NPCs at Ole Miss:

Alpha Omicron Pi--Nu Beta--1958
Chi Omega--Tau--1899
Delta Delta Delta--Chi--1904
Delta Gamma--Alpha Psi--1927
Kappa Alpha Theta--Epsilon Zeta--1979
Kappa Delta--Alpha Mu--1927
Kappa Kappa Gamma--Delta Rho--1947
Phi Mu--Alpha Delta--1926
Pi Beta Phi--MS Beta--1962

Active Non NPC
Omega Phi Alpha--2003

NPCs who use to have chapters:
AXD
ADP
DZ
ZTA

Alpha Xi Delta closing
 

I'm not sure how the whole shutting down business works - so you may be right. However, my understanding is that the Alpha Xi chapter is currently "active" and will be closed by end of the school year. :(

Vanderbilt closed chapters
 

Vanderbilt has had at least three more chapters which closed: AEPhi, Sigma Kappa, and Gamma Phi Beta. Does anyone know of more sorority chapters that were once at Vandy?

Re: UK
 

This list makes me sooo sad!! :( First off..... I love Gamma Phi!!! And I had no clue that Alpha Chi Omega was here, or Phi Sigma Sigma. I think Alpha Chi Omega would do well here, b/c of its music background. Or maybe that's just b/c I"m in TBS and know bunches of SAI girls.:p

I think ZTA came back in the 70's or so.....b/c on the UK NPC where they list recruiting and all that they are listed til the late or early 80's. But I could be wrong.

Re: Alpha Xi Delta closing
 

No. That's my chapter. We're closed. We closed at the end of the fall semester 2003.

Re: Re: Alpha Xi Delta closing
 

It is sad. I believe that Alpha Xi is UK's first NPC GLO. :(

My understanding is that the Alpha Xi house is owned by the university. Do you know if Alpha Xi has a year to "recolonize" or "come back" otherwise they relinquish any right to the house and it "returns" to UK?

Since a few fraternities either do not have housing or have a dorm floor, I'm sure any of them would be biting at the chance to get it. And being in the middle of the Sororities would be quite a recruitment draw. :D

Re: Re: UK
 

I believe that Zeta Tau Alpha closed Spring 1990; Gamma Phi Beta closed 1982; Alpha Chi Omega closed 1977; Phi Sigma Sigma closed in the 1960's or early 1970's.

Not being at UK, I'm not sure, but I drive by all the time... I don't think that a frat will go into a sorority house because they are still building for sororities to have homes. What frats don't have houses? I have never heard of a UK Frat not having a "house" they just may not be in the "six pack".

As to oldest... I though AGD-Epsilon chapter was established in 1905 not 1908. That would make it oldest but all the sites that once listed dates are not open right now. I'm at work so I don't have a new member book with me either... another AGD have your book handy?

I also though that AGD was located at one of the Mississippi schools?

Last I heard, Delta Sigma Phi didn't have a house. Pi Kappa Phi had a dorm floor. And with respect to Phi Delta Theta, I've heard the following. a.) They do not have a house; b) they have a house; or c) they meet at a house that members happen to rent - i.e. not an "official" chapter house.

You may be right. However, a few things I've read have Alpha Xi as the first NPC chapter. Just a guess, but perhaps the Epsilon chapter of Alpha Gam was a local social group first - started in 1905 - then it became a chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta in 1908. Just a guess.

I thought all the NPC sororities had houses. And that Phi Sigma Rho is the only sorority without a house.

AXiD was first sorority at UK...by about 5 minutes. I don't know which sorority came next, might have been AGD, but I know that AXiD beat whoever it was in the race to get their charter turned in first.
All NPC sororities there are housed. Phi Sigma Rho is unhoused, but I don't believe they are looking for a house. There's also CERES, but I don't know anything about them.
You are correct, TSteven, there are several unhoused fraternities. I don't know what will happen to the AXiD house next year, but I know I'll be sad to not be there...

I can't remember the exact year, but our Theta Theta chapter at Mississippi State was resolved a few years ago.

Ceres (or is it CERES - all caps?) has or use to have a house on Nicholasville Road. Across from the College of Agriculture.

I would guess that both Phi Sigma Rho and Ceres would be too small for the Alpha Xi Delta house if it became available.

Now with the new Sigma Chi and Sigma Phi Epsilon houses across/next to the sorority circle, why not give one of the un-housed fraternities a crack at Columbia Terrace. It would really liven things up! :D

I always thought Alpha Gam was, b/c they go by the slogan "oldest house on campus"?? And our AGD chapter is the oldest AGD, which is kinda cool - :) !

No, Alpha Xi Delta was the first. I think KD was pretty close behind them (although not under that name)...not sure when AGD came to campus.

As far as ZTA being at UK in the late 70s...yes, they were, because my chapter has a trophy from the ZTA Gong Show or something from, like, 1979.

All the NPC sororities at UK are housed; however, not all the fraternities are.

What was the construction behind Sorority Houses all about last year? I understood that not all of the sororities had housing at that time, that was why they were adding a few. Next time I head to Nicholasville I'll have to journey through town and view the sites. I should have rented a room in the AGD House at UK my senior fall because I lived at the WTY library sooo much.

After much tracking down of websites... I found the UK AGD founding date of May 17,1908. KD was present on campus but as a local Epsilon Omega Delta, they became KD in 1909. As to the date of AXi I didn't find a website with the dates.

I know that most schools let the histories of the chapters fall on the chapters shoulders but with as much information as UK has posted on their Panhell Website I wish they had an official listing of the chapters with charter dates.

Do you mean the construction on Pennsylvania Avenue across from the Delta Gamma house? If so, they are now the new Sigma Chi and Sigma Phi Epsilon houses.

Xi Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta

No information regarding date of founding.


UK Fraternity and Sorority Affairs Statistics Fall 2003

http://www.uky.edu/StudentAffairs/Greek/stats.htm

The date is listed on the far right. However, it only lists the year. Also has info regarding houses.

Hey Tigerlily, do you have a date for the Alpha Xi founding at UK?

TSteve, so you are in the area also... I don't know street names, except for Rose and High. The construction work I am talking about was going on behind the sorority houses, across from the new library. I know my dad mentioned that some construction for frats was going on because of the six pack houses coming down (at least I think that is the six pack, over by farmhouse and LCA, and Kappa Sigma).

Did you go to UK? You mentioned being Greek at one point, just wondering if you were at UK. You seem to know the area really well, if you don't live in the area.

I don't know the original founding date of AXiD at UK. Here's the story, though: Supposedly there was a race to get the proper forms turned in to get recognition from the university, between AXiD and (I think) AGD. AXiD got recognized 5 minutes before AGD because some of the AXiDs tripped the AGDs on the stairs (whoops! :D) and so the AXiDs got to the office first and got their paperwork in first. It's been told to me by girls from other chapters, too, including (I think) an AGD, so I'm pretty sure it's probably the truth.
UKDaisy, what you said about AGD calling themselves the "oldest house on campus"...well, I guess they could call themselves that now since AXiD is gone... :(
GtownGirl98, I think what you're talking about with the construction is that which TSteven mentioned, on PA Ave. behind the DG house. That is behind the sorority houses and across from the new library. All of the sororities do have houses on campus. The DG and Pi Phi houses look to be the newest, but I'm not sure how old they are. They are at least 2 years old though, because they were around when I first came to campus.
The new houses the were built over the 2001/2002 school year are for Sigma Chi and Sig Ep, and they opened in fall 2002. I heard that UK built those fraternities houses because they tore their old ones down, but I'm not sure if that's true. I don't think they were located in the six pack before, though. There are 5 houses in the 6pack currently, and none of those were the Sigma Chi or Sig Ep houses, since they all house other fraternities.
TSteven, do you know what happened to the 6th house in the 6pack? I heard something about one of the houses exploding the pipes in their basement and the house having to be condemned, but I don't know if that was true.
Also, do you / did you go to UK? You do seem to know a lot about the area, but your user location doesn't say Kentucky...

I did my undergrad work at UK a while ago. Now I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area. I usually get back to Lexington at least once a year. This year I was back for two UK football games. UofL :mad: and Murray State :)

GO CATS! :D

Regarding the Six Pack, they are coming down at some point just don't know the dates. And it was the KA house that was torn down. Why, I don't know. But exploding pipes in their basement wouldn't surprise me. ;)


The Sigma Chi house was on Woodland Avenue across the street from Kappa Sigma right at the corner of Hilltop. Next to the Alpha Gamma Rho house which I think it's still there. Next to the AGR house was the Phi Kappa Tau. Sigma Chi's house got "condemned" for wiring or some sort of fire hazard. The Sig Ep and ATO houses were in the area where the new library went up so they too needed new houses. Thus ATO, Sig Ep and the Sigs all got new houses. I'm guessing that KA is next in line but not sure about that. Overall, my understanding is that the idea is to build fraternity houses - similar to Sigma Chi's and Sigma Phi Epsilon's - behind the new basketball practice facility which will be built behind Memorial Coliseum. Part of "University Town" or whatever they are going to call it. On the North Side of campus and kind of between the Kappa, AOPi and Phi Tau houses. Sort of a triangle that goes from campus toward downtown. Not sure if it has more to do with needed space or what, but I've heard that some of the sororities are lobbing for new digs as well. Regardless, my understanding is that the Six-Pack gets first crack.

NOTE: For those of y'all who don't have a clue what we are talking about, there were six UK owned fraternities houses on campus and near the twin towers dorm complex. They were right next to each other in two rows with three houses in each row. Just like a six pack and thus the name. Currently there are only five houses. The middle house on the "right" side - the KA house - was torn down and is now parking for the other houses. The other five from "top to bottom" are Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Sigma Kappa, Pi Kappa Alpha on the "left" side, with FarmHouse, the parking lot (old KA house), and Kappa Sigma on the "right" side.

By the way, I haven't heard about the three non housed fraternities and if they are slated to go into any of the new houses.

Rose and High? I'm a Two Keys man myself. :cool:

There are two UK grads out here - an Alpha Xi and an Alpha Gam - and they both tell the same story more or less. That Alpha Xi got to the office first etc...

The story on the KA house is true...over winter break, I believe, a few years ago the heat was turned off and the pipes burst, causing the house to be condemned. All the houses in the Six Pack are sh**holes anyway, with the possible exception of FarmHouse. :p I guess they do need to be torn down since it would cost so much to renovate them, but it's kinda sad because a couple of them (maybe the KA house) used to house the "Kitten Lodge," which, according to my stepdad, was where the freshmen ballplayers lived...I'll have to ask him again about that.

Yeah...you all are right on about everything else--it's too much to comment on, so I'll just say that! :p

*Edited to Add* I did a little digging, and the Xi chapter of Alpha Xi Delta was established at UK in 1907, while AGD's chapter there was founded on May 14, 1908. So the five-minute thing's a little off... ;)

It was sad...
 

My freshman year of high school, my dad and I went to a UK BB game and he commented on how one day I would stand inline for UK tickets like he did... :( I haven't had the chance yet... senior year Georgetown made a better offer for me to go there. I don't regret going to GC but I lost the family connection to UK... that is why I'm going to apply for graduate school there.... do grad students get a chance at those tickets (you know in the student section or at least close by)?

To hear him talk about his greek days at UK is interesting. He is/was a Phi Kappa Sigma. So he talked about the six pack often.

I concur that they are s**tholes but the history behind those walls... I would hope that if they are torn down that the campus would just put newer versions back in their place.

Well if the story about them being tripped is true, then that wasn't very panhellenic of them.

According to the UK website charter years are 1908 for both groups. And whether or not AGD was first, apparently they are the oldest now.

Thanks all those who are participating in this topic... I've enjoyed the education and shared knowledge.

Re: It was sad...
 

You're in the same boat as me...EVERYone in my family went to Morehead, but I picked UK because it was bigger. :p I liked it OK once I got used to it, but now I'm going to Morehead to get my teaching degree. And yes, grad students can purchase student tickets...although let me warn you, the ticket lotteries SUCK.

I know, I wish they would, too, but supposedly the plan is to make all that area "green space" or something, to show off our uber-expensive library-built-on-a-sinkhole.

Yep...I got my info from a Sigma Nu page, actually, so it may be wrong. It's sad, though, that UK lost a chapter.

Re: Re: It was sad...
 

I have yet to attend a ticket lottery, so I'm not sure how they work! Luckily, I get pretty good seats with the band ;) . Its the nice advantage to having to wear those uniforms in the fall.

This has been a major history lesson for me. I can not believe they wouldn't rebuild the "6-pack"....and I mean that's a UK thing. That is really sad....

Re: Re: It was sad...
 

Hmmm, thanks, at least someone seems to have some sympathy.

Tigerlily, I am sad whenever any GLO closes for whatever reason. It shows how vulnerable a group can be, especally when age isn't a factor.

Re: Re: Re: Alpha Xi Delta closing
 

Repeating that it is very sad about Xi chapter of Alpha Xi Delta closing.:(
