Other (NIC) fraternities on campus are:
Delta Tau Delta
Sigma Pi (colony)
Theta Chi (largest at 48)
Pi Kappa Phi

And only two (NPC) sororities:
Phi Mu
Delta Phi Epsilon

Student life isn't the biggest thing on campus right now. Greek life especially. But this school has grown to be the third largest in Georgia and becoming less and less of a commuter school. We just moved to Division I sports, so that'll help also.

Sigma Pi is a colony. A good friend of mine was Sigma Pi at Southern Poly but doesn't like the guys here, and frankly, I only like 1 or 2 of them. I don't know too much of their progress or position on campus. They're a lot like us when it comes to IFC, we don't like it and would rather not be forced into it.

We have a great AA that gets us in contact with all these other chapters. Dan Holland. He has very close ties with the Atlanta Alumni Chapter which helps a lot. Kirk Schuening (spelling?), the AA from GaTech, has been a lot of help also. He's been more than happy to help us with Recruitment training and whatnot.
It sounds a little bit like my school, in that Greek Life was a small part of the community overall. It's a good thing you're getting alum support, as that can be huge to a chapter surviving. Kirk (Chewning I believe, if we're thinking of the same guy) has been very involved on a nationwide level with recruitment, so he's a good resource to have.

Here's to continued success, as it certainly sounds like you're on the right track.
