NPC chapters at HBCU schools
 
I did a search and couldn't find anything.

My question is, are there any NPC member sororities that have an active chapter on a HBCU campus?

Thanks.:)

Not that I am aware. There was an NPC that attempted to colonize at Tennessee State a little more than 10 years ago. I don't recall if they actually acheived colony status or not but I do know that they never chartered.

I feel like certain NPCs would fit a niche at HBCUs, especially the ones founded to be non-sectarian.

Question: Is Clayton State (GA) an HBCU? I know that Alpha Sigma Alpha has been selected to colonize there. I believe they're the first NPC to colonize there as the school only has NPHC groups, and have heard it refered to as an HBCU.

It seems like an HBCU. It looks like all the GLOs are NPHC.

It used to be a Junior College until the mid-80s and won't have dorms until this fall. The median age is 29. Such an environment isn't a huge disadvantage for NPHC orgs.

(UDC has similar demographics and has all nine NPHCs)

ETA: UDC is definitely an HBCU though, so don't listen to me.

Their demographics will be very interesting for an NPC org.

We'll see some "I'm a 23 yo junior at a small college and am interested in the only NPC org on campus. What are my chances" threads on GC. :)

I feel like someone had a rush story like that!

I think there was a rush and an aspirant story like that. But now the responses will have to consider Clayton State and not just be "you're too old...get a life."

There are chapters of NPC orgs at schools with some different age demographics. Their membership is typically very different from the tradtional student 18-22/23 year olds. Those are not the majority though.

But the presence of these types of schools is why we tend to say "it depends on the campus" when asked about people's chances. It's because getting a bid at 25 is different at Cleveland State (very similar to Clayton) than it is at a more traditional college campus like Miami (OH) or Ohio State.

I know what you are saying but I don't consider Clayton State to be one. I guess because I've never seen it listed among HBCUs. (Not very definitive, I know. ;) )

Regardless, I wish ASA all the best in its latest endeavor.

Clayton State isn't an HBCU. It's a commuter school that is now becoming a residential campus. The only public HBCU's in GA are Savannah State, Albany State and Fort Valley State.

The AKA chapter is Simply Stunning Sigma Sigma. I love those girls!:)

You're right. :)

The school site didn't tell much and I had never heard of Clayton State until today.

Then I saw that it isn't listed on these two sites: http://www.edonline.com/cq/hbcu/ga.htm and http://www.ed.gov/about/inits/list/w...lite-list.html

And you can add the private Morehouse, Clark, Spelman, and Morris Brown if we're counting them all. Georgia does have some good opportunities for if you are looking for the HBCU experience.

Your characterization of Clayton State is a good one. I don't know what its demographic composition is today, but through the early 1990's, it was maybe a lot like Kennesaw. State. As Clayton County changed from predominantly White to predominantly Black, Clayton State may have as well, but it's not really historical.
