Chartering
 

I am proud to say that the Beta Psi chapter of Phi Kappa Tau will be chartering on Oct.20 2001. I am so proud and have waited so long for this day. It will surely be a day to remember.

bump from way back!!!

I am charter member Iota Zeta chapter of Theta Chi Fraterntiy, November 16 initiation, November 17 instillation. Saw my name on charter and couldn't stop smiling!! Ktsnake speak up.

Mu Tau Chapter, initiate #5. My name's on the charter (near the top:D )

Damned good feeling. We started the colony in spring of '99 and recieved our charter March 9th, 2002. Careful that you don't lose the momentum after chartering. I hear that's a fairly common occurance (although it didn't happen to us)

We didn't, but did
 

Our chapter received its charter in Dec 94. I pledged in the Spring of 98, which was a high point of the chapter up to that point. The prior years were marked with steady progress, but by 98, we were on the verge of excellence. Then, a brother (my pledge educator in fact) created a rift in the chapter by doing some illegal activities that I will not speak of on this site. Needless to say, the chapter fell apart internally and externally.

However, a few of the remaining actives really got their acts together and rebuilt the chapter over a two year period. This meant eliminating hazing that had crept into the chapter, focusing on recruitment, eliminating debt, improving reporting and alumni relations, you name it, we did it. We experienced what we called the "5 Year Lull". Basically, you've got your charter, things are going along fine, and then bam, apathy takes over. But it can be erradicated.

Now, my chapter is back on top, but for how long. We just won our second straight Smythe Award (highest Pike honor), and this year we also won the Scholarship Cup (highest GPA) and the Pledge Education Award. But, I just found out yesterday that even all of these accomplishments need to be put into perspective. We have brothers who are resigning from the fraternity, as well as a debt that is coming back, a record-low freshman class to recruit from, and plenty more problem. Maybe now we are going through a "10 Year Lull."

The Eta Kappa Colony of Delta Gamma at NCSU, will recieve it's charter on November 17th! I'm so excited to be a founding sister! It's so fantastic to be able to share in this!
