We are colonizing at the University of Wisconsin- Parkside and are finally installing our Lynchburg colony! Those are really just the ones I've heard of. I'll have to ask someone higher up on the Sigma chain about any others!
|
Kappa Alpha Theta will be colonizing/establishing our newest chapter this fall on the campus of Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn. :)
Theta will join Alpha Chi Omega and Phi Sigma Sigma on Quinnipiac's Panhellenic Council. |
Beta Theta Pi is colonizing Iowa State, University of Miami, Southern Cal, Dayton, and Kettering A/B.
|
Alpha Delt Expansion
We have new affiliates at:
Duke New Hampshire Brandeis Northeastern Interest groups at: Boston U. Michigan State Expansion plans Recolonize at: Miami NYU(maybe) Colonize at: UNC Pretty agressive for us, but 3 of our 4 new affiliates are former locals, so we expect that chartering should go quickly. The Miami effort is mostly alumni driven, as they are well-organized. If all of these projects work out, we will be 33% larger when all is said and done. |
As the new academic year begins, Zeta Psi already has 2 very strong colonies at the University of Georgia and Binghamton University (NY) . The re-activation of our Bloomsburg University Chapter, the Pi Kappa is also underway. We’re also looking at a number of possible expansion opportunities. Here are the schools we’re looking at right now:
* Arizona State University - 12 man Interest Group in place * Florida State University - continuing it's recruitment * George Mason University - several interested men already * Stanford University - Mu - a targeted restart this Fall * University of Miami - a core group is coming together right now * University of Minnesota - Alpha Beta - several Pledges already for this restart * University of Texas - Iota Alpha - looking to restart this Fall * Vanderbilt University (TN) - 2 transfers from Tulane are looking to start a new group here |
ZTA is colonizing at Saint Louis University! (I know no other details:()
|
Alpha Epsilon Phi is recolonizing our Epsilon Zeta chapter at Arizona State University and our Epsilon Nu chapter at San Diego State University.
|
Alpha Omicron Pi
We are expanding on 3 campuses:
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology has already had it's colonization party back in the spring, April I believe. University of Arkansas and University of La Verne are doing colonization parties this fall. |

Looks like U of Kansas and Michigan for us. Good luck.

TKE colonies:
University of Missouri USC (South Carolina) Univ. of Arkansas- Monticello Roosevelt U. Barry U. Sir Sandford Fleming College (ON, Canada) Central Methodist U. Univ. of Wisconsin - Parkside SUNY - Fredonia |
I seem to recall replying to this same thread already.
Yep.. here it is: http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...ight=Expansion |

UNC
I believe UNC is up to 21 fraternities that are IFC, plus two that are in the process of recolonizing. While some houses are doing very well for themselves, other houses are struggling. I do not think expanding, in terms of the number of houses, will do anything beneficial for those that need more members. The current policies make it too easy to add more chapters to our campus, whereas they should be structured like Panhel's where a house has to join through hoops to return/colonize. I also take issue the disportionate number of fraternities to sororities... and that when we have mixers, the ratio is probably 2.5 girls to 1 boy.
|
SailboatSis,
I don't think you're going to get anywhere on this one. Boys are different. :) Just have mixers with 2 fraternities at once. |
As it was said already, we are colonizing at Pace and at Nova Southeastern in FL
|
Mabe Sororitys should take a lesson from Fraternitys and look into expansion that is so structured that it may keep girls from joining existing houses.

Tom: NPC expansion WORKS for the vast majority of cases. Women who choose not to join existing GLOs do not tend to do so because of the GLO in question, but because of the women in the GLOs. Those women would be the same no matter the letters because they're all coming from the university. |

Back to the topic at hand...I heard Alpha Phi will be recolonizing at UNC-Wilmington in a few weeks. |

Hm, while an interesting point, the smaller amount of GLOs to choose from narrows down the selection process for the PNMs doesnt it?:confused: If let us say, that PNMs are looking for a certain GLO and it is not there, they do not want to join or they do not like the women in the existing GLOs, then where do they go (?), No where and do not join any GLO. As said in another Thread about Affiliation and Transfering, that is to me wrong. It is used as a stepping stone and will not work out as each chapter is a different entity while the same so to speak. To be a happy Sister or Brother, it has to work both ways for both parties. How many Alums have been lost because they joined just to join and say I was a so and so member of ABC.:( Expansion needs to be strongly considered in many ways, but not well, None are making numbers! The question should be, why are they not making numbers? Where is the problem? |
Quote:
If one chapter is failing, it will close and open up the opportunity for another chapter. If all 26 NPC sororities were on every campus, there would be a few with 100 members and a few with 2. The small ones cannot function this way, much less run a house. Going Greek is great. For women who drop because they don't like the letters they're doing it to themselves. For women who drop because they couldn't find a fit, it has more to do with the entire Greek culture of that campus then whether or not XYZ was there. |
Sigma Kappa is colonizing this fall at University of Nevada, Reno!

When a State Un. had 6500 + Students then there is/are Women there to join if they desire and dont, then where is the problem? There may be Sororitys that some heart for or hear of and they are not there and are limited to who they may choose from brings me to the conclusion that maybe there is a lacking some where? If the choices are not there for them, then why join if they do not like the women in those GLOs? Most State Schools are not emuried with Greeks as some of the Big Southern or Major Uns., but what does one do to find friendship if not a member of a small and select few? Dont each GLO attempt to recruit those who are like themselves? What if other women do not like or feel like they want to be a part of them for what ever reason? |
Quote:
If someone's life long goal is to be an XYZ, then she shouldn't go to a campus w/o XYZ. If her goal is to join a sorority, then she will find plenty of options on campus. The number of women who don't join a sorority because the "right one" isn't on campus is tiny. The system keeps us on relatively equal footing and keeps a system from expanding too fast and then collapsing underneath itself. |

what's wrong with that? are you afraid of competetion? ;) |
From a college friend who is a Sigma Pi:
Sigma Pi is expanding in Fall 2006 to: Ohio State University - re-charter University of Michigan - re-charter University of Delaware - new chapter Kansas State University - new chapter University of Texas at San Antonio - new chapter |
Has anybody heard if any campuses will be open for expansion?
