CCNY (City College of New York)
 

Hey, Does anyone know if there are any NPC orgs at CCNY? If so, which ones are there?

I know there are some MCGLO's but I'm not aware of any NPC Sororities....if anyone knows, please enlighten me!

Thanks!

I'm thinking that since they didn't have any listed under the "Fraternities & Sororities" Section of their website, it's a big NO. It seems like a non-traditional/commuter campus, which wouldn't be a big NPC target.

They do not have any NPC sororities. In terms of NIC fraternities, Sigma Alpha Mu is in the process of recolonizing their Alpha chapter and their Tau Epsilon Pi chapter may still be active.

They have a greek life links page but I am not sure how up to date it is: CCNY Greek Life

And just b/c they are commuter schools doesn't mean they won't have NPC's, three other commuter CUNY campus have NPC chapters.

Point of clarification: I didn't say that they couldn't have NPC's. I said that it wouldn't be a big NPC target, like say, an SEC school.

As for NPHC, we have several city-wide chapters up here in NYC. Most of the senior CUNY campuses would fall under these chapters. I'm not sure if NPC and NIC orgs. have city-wide chapters.

I know you weren't saying that, I am just really big on people knowing there are greeks at commuter schools. Especially in NYC.

GO CUNY!!!!!!

I'm agreeing with you....shocking! But yes, I hate when people assume just because it's a commuter school there is no greek life....

BTW, btwn us, sorry about last week....

DPhiE used to have a chapter at CCNY (Lehman) and due to the change in the traditional student (age etc), the NPC groups folded in the 60s. This is similar to Hunter College, our Delta Chapter. The traditional student, 18-20 years old, had morphed and so the campus is not full of likely-joiners (an NPC term). Maintaining membership on these types of campuses is very challenging. The commuter part of it is not the issue but the women don't feel a sense of "home" since they are often not on campus at the same times and don't have a central meeting place like a private office etc for bonding.

Alpha Delt had a chapter at CCNY for nearly 75 years and pulled the charter in 1912ish (the school was becoming too Jewish....I know, spomething we are not too proud of now.) It actually became a local called Delta Alpha which survived until somewhere around the mid-seventies TEP actually had a house, but recently lost it

Delta Sigma Phi was founded on December 10, 1899 at the City College of New York.

Don't know when our chapter went defunct though.

CCNY DELTA UPSILON
 

DU had a chapter at CCNY from 1874-1878, chapter initiated a grand total of 18 men!
Interestingly one of the initiates was the chief designer of the Panama Canal.

ZBT's Grand Alpha Chapter was founded at CCNY in 1903 when it was decided to change ZBT from a secret society of Jew men founded in 1898 at Columbia Univ. to a greek-letter fraternity. CCNY-Alpha was one of ZBT top 20 chapters from 1903 to 1960's. However, the chapter had closed after when Phi Sigma Delta and Phi Epsilon Pi merged with ZBT National in 1970. There has been some talk by the national expansion committee to re-activate the chapter.

I know one more national fraternity (AEPi?) started at CCNY. We should be considered a triad....the CCNY triad

I did some research and found the following NIC and NPC orgs. that were founded in NYC...

NIC:

ZBT
Delta Sigam Phi
Tau Epsilon Phi
Sigma Alpha Mu
Alpha Espilon Pi


NPC:
Phi Sigma Sigma
Alpha Omicron Pi
Alpha Epsilon Phi


I amy have missed some Org. Please correct me if I did.

OOPS!!!! I forgot Delta Phi Epsilon. My mistake.

NIC
Delta Psi
Tau Delta Phi
Zeta Psi

NIC
1847 - Delta Psi (Columbia)
1847 - Zeta Psi (NYU)
1899 - Delta Sigma Phi (CCNY)
1903 - Zeta Beta Tau (CCNY)
1909 - Sigma Alpha Mu (CCNY)
1910 - Tau Delta Phi (CCNY)
1910 - Tau Epsilon Phi (Columbia)
1913 - Alpha Epsilon Pi (NYU)

NPC
1897 - Alpha Omicron Pi (Barnard)
1909 - Alpha Epsilon Phi (Barnard)
1913 - Phi Sigma Sigma (Hunter)
1917 - Delta Phi Epsilon (NYU)

was definitely bout to correct that!

NPHC at CUNY
 

is CUNY Hunter College part of Alpha Kappa Alpha's Lambda New York City Chapter's Charter? What schools does the New York City Chapter include?

Psst. Try www.aka1908.org . :)

NPHC in NYC
 

I'll introduce myself later, but I wanted to chime in on this, seeing as how I'm from NYC and all, and can provide some insight.

as far as the NPHC goes:

Alpha Phi Alpha:
ETA Chapter - All Senior CUNY in the Bronx & Manhattan as well as NYU, Columbia University, Mercy College, etc.
Delta Chi - All Senior CUNY in Brooklyn and Staten Island as well as Poly Tech, Pratt, etc.
Theta Epsilon - All Senior CUNY in Queens, as well as St. John's University.


Alpha Kappa Alpha:
Lambda Chapter - I know for certain they cover CUNY Hunter
Xi Xi Chapter - Chartered @ CUNY Lehman, still there.
Alpha Mu - Brooklyn, not sure which schools they cover/don't cover

Kappa Alpha Psi:
Omicron - I know they have membership at CUNY Lehman, not sure of other CUNY schools

Omega Psi Phi: Not sure

Delta Sigma Theta:
Rho Chapter - Columbia University
Epsilon Tau - NYU, and I think most/all Senior CUNY in Manhattan & the Bronx.

Phi Beta Sigma:
Theta Gamma - Citywide, includes CUNY Lehman
Xi Alpha - CUNY Baruch
I know there are more chapters at CUNY schools, can't remember them off-hand.

Zeta Phi Beta
Epsilon Chapter - CUNY Hunter, CUNY John Jay, CUNY Baruch, CUNY Lehman among other schools. They have a chapter in Brooklyn as well.

Sigma Gamma Rho:
Alpha Pi - Metropolitan Chapter - Covers CUNY, not sure which ones.

Iota Phi Theta
I know they have presence @ CUNY City College.

This is by no means a definitive list. I am an Alpha from ETA Chapter, so everyone else I just plugged in from what I know. As someone noted before me... it is a different type of beast as far as Greek Life as a whole, but we are all about and still goin' hard.

Also... there are many NALFO (Latino) affiliated organizations out here that are on CUNY campuses, such as Lambda Upsilon Lambda, Lambda Pi Chi, Omega Phi Beta, Lambda Theta Alpha, Sigma Lambda Upsilon, Sigma Lambda Chi, Gamma Ce Upsilon, and more...

PBS - CCNY:Alpha Delta, Brooklyn College: Beta Lambda
ZPhiB - Brooklyn College:Omicron Beta, Queens College/SJU & other Queens Schools:Omicron Alpha

I think the Que's chapter is Epsilon...

I knew there were more... thanks for correcting/adding to the list.

I just came across this thread during a search of my frat, Delta Alpha, at CCNY. What you said is true, but I can state unequivocably it was an incredible experience, both social and academic. The hose was a four story brownstone (five stories, counting the sub-basement) in Manhattan on 467 West 143rd Street, between Convent Ave & Amsterdam Avenues. The house was a gift from an alumni, James K. Hackett, a famous Shakespearean and silent film actor in the late 19th/early 20th century, and several buildings at CCNY are named after brothers of Delta Alpha.
