Expansions
 

Well, Alpha Gamma Delta and Alpha Phi also presented so it could be them as well. Formal announcement of who was selected won't be made until April 1st.

I was unable to attend the presentation you and AGD made, but my sisters were enamored with it to the point I wished I had been able to make it!

I'm just happy that Sigma Kappa is still expanding. I would love to have another Florida chapter to join the 1 we currently have.

Also, I'd love for us to get selected at NYU since we will be presenting there as well.

Who else is presenting at NYU?

Gamma Phi Beta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Pi Beta Phi

That's some tough competition. I think it helps that we have strong chapters at peer institutions in the region, like BU, MIT, and UPenn. UPenn is one of our strongest chapters, and they are fairly young! Plus, the closest chapters we have to NYC are Rutgers and Hartford, so any willing alumnae (and in a big city like NYC, I'm sure there are a lot) could focus solely on that chapter.

Then again, the other three can say the same thing. Oh I hope we get it! It would be totally sweet to colonize at NYU!!

Expansions- FIU
 

The official word came out of national today. We will be colonoizing in the Fall, probably Sept. We are really excited down here. It will be great to have a local chapter! I am the president of the Miami (SE FL) Alumnae Chapter.

Now we have to wait & see if we got NYU as well. I hope so. We currently have 2 SK chapters in New York. It would be great to add one at NYU as well.

Fredonia and Geneseo are in western New York (essentially another state), so it'd be nice to have a chapter in New York City.

I'm hopeful and eager to hear who was selected by NYU. They made (or have made since I'm on the West Coast) their selection tonight but won't release the name of the GLO until the GLO itself discloses it. How exciting.

Not that this may make any difference but I was curious about this information.

Sigma Kappa - 2 collegiate & 3 alumnae chapters in New York.

Gamma Phi Beta - 5 collegiate & 3 (maybe 4?) alumnae chapters in New York.

Kappa Kappa Gamma - 5 collegiate but I don't know how many alumnae chapters there currently are in NY.

Pi Beta Phi - 3 collegiate & 6 alumnae chapters in New York.

Sigma Kappa is presenting at the University of California, Irvine this month. :)
I will be attending both the alumnae banquet and the presentation to provide all my support. YAY!
October 29th and 30th are the dates. Woohoo!

Also presenting are Kappa Delta and Phi Mu.

I just wanted everyone to know that FIU's new chapter of Sigma Kappa is going great =] My name is Michelle and I am one of the founding sisters down here!

I would like to congratulate the Sisters of Sigma Kappa on your receiving the votes to expand at UCI. May you have a fantastic and successful recruitment and expansion.

DaffyKD

Seriously, how excited are you!?

I'm not so subtle huh? ;):p

Nah, the three foot purple letters didn't give anything away. ;)
I wish I was closer to a new colony so I could be involved. I keep hoping for a recolonization at the college about ten minutes away from my house. No such luck.

To add to our excitement, it looks like we were selected to colonize at Clemson as well. Our first South Carolina chapter! YAY!

{thread crash}

Congrats to you ladies, and best of luck to Sigma Kappa at Clemson!

{/thread crash}

Wow yay! FIU, UCI, and Clemson should keep us plenty busy. FWIW, we had a chapter at the University of South Carolina in the 30s I believe--Beta Beta.

I am so jazzed about Clemson! How awesome! We're on fire, ladies! <3

It's on the National Website now so that's cool. I was playing around and it said that information regarding the colonizations will be posted sometime in the next month. :)

Quick Question
 

Are you set for Clemson and UCI this spring 2009? ---or next school year 2009-2010? Question only because through NPC we had heard this spring 2009.

UCI will be this spring (starting next month, I believe). As for Clemson, I'm not sure of the details on that colonization yet.

Hope you all don't mind me jumping in to say hello! I hear your FIU colony is doing well - I was the Extension Committee co-chairperson, and it makes me happy to know that my Greek community made a fabulous choice for our future! Just wanted to show some Tri Sigma love for Sigma Kappa!

What are the updates on Irvine and Clemson? I believe UCI had 62 women go through formal pledge. I read in another thread it was 128? for Clemson. That is incredible! :D

Does anyone know chapter total at UCI and Clemson?

UCI- Quota last year was around 40, but at that time there were only 8 NPC groups. This coming fall there will be 10.

By adding Sigma Kappa, Clemson will have 11 groups. They seem to have plenty of women go through recruitment though!

Looks like Miami of Ohio might be expanding again..... that would bring them back up to 18 chapters again after losing tridelt earlier this year. anyone know how the voting turned out?

interesting to see if they voted yes who they will choose....it seems practically ever organization has been there at one time or another...such a strong greek community!

Did Sigma Kappa present there? :confused: I wasn't aware we were presenting anywhere at this time.

Just saw a hometown girl today, and she told me she is a member at Clemson. She is in charge of the Foundation and will be living in the sorority dorm this fall. She is a great girl and loves Sigma Kappa!

Yay!!!!! How exciting :D
