KA, KSig, and LXA all established colonies at the same time - KSig is still a colony, or at least trying to 'act' like one - though the members I have seen on campus and working around town absolutely do NOT fit Greek stereotypes - they started from some members of the campus Green party members - so they are not "mainstream" students in any sense, though they are still hanging in there.
LXA is booming right now at UNC - biggest AM class since recolonization - so it can be done here.
I did not know about AKL, though I did notice the letters disappear off the house this summer, but then again, that happens a lot at UNC - houses move a lot - DTD moved again over the summer as did Sigma Chi into the old AZD house (and the other sorority that was there renting appears to have closed ).
UNC is a hard campus to succeed as greeks, but that is still mainly due to the "suitcase U" reputation that prevails even to this day - everyone goes home on weekends. But it can be done - Sigma Chi is still going strong as is LXA and Sigma Pi - I hear DTD is doing well (hat tip, Delt Alum) - not sure about other chapters (SAE just seems to always be there, but you don't hear a lot from them). Delta Chi was teetering for a while, but seems to be coming back - most sororities appear to be healthy.
Ummm...when was ATO on campus? That had to be long ago - at least before 1986 when I came to UNC - never seen or heard of them - I know they HAD a chapter in ages past...but did they try to recolonize or something and I miss it?
BTW, I happen to know a few UNC TKE alums - PM me and I'll give you names - see if we know the same folks....

As far as I knew, KSig was initiated. I didn't know they were still a colony. Hmmm. I didn't know about AKL either. I'll see if I can dig around and find out what's going on. The Delts did move into the old AXiD/SigX/AOII house. *haha mouthful* BUT, the AOII chapter did not close. They moved down the street between the old TKE house and the new Delt house, across from APhi. They may not have had their letters on at the time, but they did for recruitment in September. It's the house we originally wanted 3 years ago. As far as I know the sororities are still there, but the fraternity life there has suffered. I am glad to hear about the delt and the LXA's!
