More Extensions at 3 Universities
 

The following 3 Universities are opening up for extension & I am proud to say that Sigma Kappa has been invited to present at all 3. Alas I do not know the other sororities that have been invited to present as well but if anyone has that info, it would be greatly appreciated.


University of Buffalo in Amherst, New York. This school already has Alpha Epsilon Phi, Alpha Gamma Delta, and Alpha Phi. SK will be presenting on Dec. 6-7

Duquesne Universit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The other NPC chapters there are Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Phi, Alpha Sigma Tau, Delta Zeta, Gamma Phi Beta, and Zeta Tau Alpha. SK will present on Dec. 9

Marquette University. Pi Beta Phi, Alpha Xi Delta, Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Phi are already established there. Presentation for SK is on Dec. 5


I want to say good-luck to all sororities that will be presenting. Hopefully, we'll hear the results soon.

Good luck to SK. We presented at Marquette yesterday and we think that it went pretty well.

Denise_DPhiE, clean out your PM box so I can respond to your PM k? :)

How great it is to see expansion for NPC Ladys!

I just so wish that They Could expand at My old Alma Mater!

The very best of luck to all who are in the race as it were to be placed!:)

I had no clue Marquette was open for expansion! I believe they also have an AXO chapter, unless that has closed recently.

Good Luck To Sigma Kappa and Everyone else.

Hopefully, maybe Sigma Kappa will come back as a Chapter here at Cleveland State one day.

congrats on presenting!
i have a cousin who attends marquette - great school!

- marissa

Nope, we still have a chapter there!

I always thought AXO was a great chapter, which is why I was surprised to not see it listed!

SLU panhel has been dicussing and voting recently on expansion. They just recently passed to expand in 2007. I don't know what this means exactly in terms of a timeline for how things will happen, but it's pretty exciting!

The sororities here now are:
Alpha Delta Pi
Delta Gamma
Gamma Phi Beta
Kappa Delta
Sigma Kappa

Our official announcement came out today that we are colonizing at Virginia Tech in January.

Alpha Gamma Delta Announces Colonization at Virginia Tech

International Council is pleased to announce that Alpha Gamma Delta
will be colonizing at Virginia Tech beginning in late January 2006. The
opportunity to colonize early next year is the result of a decision made
several years ago to invite three National Panhellenic Conference (NPC)
groups to colonize at Virginia Tech. It is now Alpha Gamma Delta's turn
to start a colony!

Virginia Tech, a campus with more than 21,000 full-time undergraduate
students, is located in Blacksburg, Virginia, which is approximately 40
miles southwest of Roanoke. It has a very strong Greek community that
is well supported by the university. There are currently 12 NPC groups
at Virginia Tech. Chapter total is 85, and the average chapter size last
year was 123. The All Women Greek grade point average for the 2004-2005
academic year was 3.201.

A small team of Alpha Gamma Delta volunteers and staff members has made
its first visit to Virginia Tech, where it met with members of the
college Panhellenic, university personnel, Alpha Gamma Delta alumnae and
others. The team members are unanimous in their enthusiasm about the
campus and their excitement about our colonization.

One of the locals is seeking affiliation.

Congratulaions!

It's about time too. Quotas of 48-50 make HUGE new member classes. It's hard starting out with 300+ girls and only 5 sororities though I worry that adding a 6th sorority may keep more of the 300 girls and do less to lower quota. Oh well.

-got to sit in on some of the recruitment panhel discussions because I am the almighty computer chick who makes databases like no other!-:D

The local which was on Sorority Life in 2002 or 3. (U of Buffalo)

Hmmm....that's interesting....

Oh dear.

OMGWTFSKEPI!!!!

I think these are those chicks that ripped off all of Sigma Kappa's stuff.

So it's a collective "Caveat Emptor" to the national that colonizes them, i suppose? But Sorority life 2003 would have been filmed in 2002 or 2001...which would mean that many of those girls are out of the active chapter, no? We talk about how a chapter's personality can change over time, shouldn't these girls be given the same consideration? I hope that the presenters will consider the *present* chapter, and not what they know from MTV...because after all, it IS MTV.

I know. But SKEPi references are fun on snowy Friday afternoons. :)

Somewhere, Valkyrie is banging her head against her computer monitor.

Wow I didn't even know EWU had locals. You think being an hour away we'd know about this. I had no idea they ripped off Sigma Kappa either, 33Gilr/BetaRose if you'd like to send me a PM I'd be interested to hear about it.

I was thinking the same thing about becoming an NPC chapter, and women that were involved in "Sorority Life" would have graduated by now, so perhaps it has all been put in the past.

So how does that work with the second chapter? Do they remain a local? That would make it interesting.........

VandalSquirrel, I think all of the NPC groups at EWU came from locals. I know that our chapter there was originally one.

:confused: Am I missing something? I don't see anything that would lead me to think they were trying to rip off SK.

It's because their website's changed since they became a part of DZO.

When they were still Beta Epsilon Sorority, you would've been appalled to see their sorority info. Everything, and I mean everything...was Sigma Kappa. Their colors, their symbols, their mascot...heck even their motto!

I didn't think they still had locals, I thought every group had affiliated with a national group. I think either the person who told me was confused, or I misunderstood them.

Dang I'm glad I wasn't around GC to see that.

This local would have come on after all the former locals affiliated, which seems weird that the University would have allowed that to occur if they pushed for the locals to originally go national.

Me neither, though I'm almost curious. You know, like when you see a car accident and you can't look away.

I don't know if this has been posted somewhere else or not, but the University of Nevada-Reno is open for expansion. They will choose the presenters in February, and the presentations will be made in late March/early April. The colonization will take place in the Fall of 2006.

There's another thread about it somewhere......

Is The True Un. Of Nevada opening only to NPCs or even NICs?

It seems that the Greek System there is some what soft. Any other information?

Going back to the Beta Chapter of DZO...on their website it says they are recruiting women who are "an undergraduate student in a Spokane area college or university" Sounds like they aren't tied to one campus...wonder how that affects their status with their university?

I think We all know a Local Per Se is on one campus.

But how many Chapters does it mean that They are not Local anymore?

Usually, National means that they are on or in more than 1 State as I understand it.

International is in more than One Country, usually meaning Canada and USA.

I find it fasinating that MLGLOs and LGLOSs are expanding and am glad to see someone finding Their Niche in Greek Society!:cool:

Now, when do We all gather and understand this?

There is a deffinent reason for the New GLOs!

Looking at the groups page it appears that they were looking to affiliate with a group starting in summer 2004. I wonder if they tried to go NPC and the campus wasn't open for expansion as an NPC sorority recently left. I guess chartering as Delta Xi Omega means they can have members from Gonzaga, Whitworth, WSU Spokane Campus, Spokane Community College, Spokane Falls Community College, and other assorted schools? How does that work with insurance?

The EWU Greek information pages are a mess as there are many errors, not just of facts but also some spelling.

I would hazard a guess that they have no insurance. Which is a terrible idea
