Question
 

Hey ladies!

Sorry to crash your board, but I have a question for ya'll. I'm an ADPi from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and I was looking through old scrapbooks in our house the other day. I ran across one from 1976. It had a picture in it and the caption talked about UT-Chattanooga's newest chapter, Phi Sigma Sigma. The chapter has sinced closed. My question(s) is do you know what year the chapter opened and what year the chapter closed? If it helps, I think the chapter name was Gamma something....

Again, sorry to invade ya'lls board. I was just wondering because I was SHOCKED to find out that ya'll had a chapter at UTC!

Thanks!

It was our Gamma Eta chapter and it opened in 1976... don't know when it closed.... we are strongest in # of chapters in the northeast now.. but we have had LOTS of chapters in the south LSU... UT austin.... SMU... Georgia State to name a few... sadly a lot of those chapters are now gone.

Glitter is right about Gamma Eta. The chapter was open somewhere between 8 to 10 years.

It is my personal goal on the extension team to get back some of our closed chapters in the South. I would love for Phi Sig to be back at UTC someday!!

I think UTC will more than likely be open to expansion in about 3 or 4 years. Our Freshman classes keep getting larger and larger. We only have 4 sororities now. (ADPi, Chi O, KD, and Sigma K) At this point our pledge classes are around 40. I think if the trend continues, we're eventually going to have to expand.
On a side note, we've had at least four sororites close their chapters here. KD just reopened their chapter in '99. Sigma Kappa formed in '91. So, UTC has a pretty young Greek System. But out of all the sororites that we have had here, I was stoked to find out that Phi Sigma Sigma was on campus. I believe when we do expand they will definitely invite NPC groups who have been here in the past.

Seriously, you rock - what a nice thing to say!!! We would love to come play with you all at UTC!!!

Oh that's so cool! Thanks!!!
