I have a friend who was a Sigma Pi at VU and then transferred to a 4-year school. He had to go through the normal process to affiliate with the Sigma Pi chapter at his new school, but he was able to do it.

For what it is worth, Sigma Pi was founded at Vincennes University. I seem to recall (from friends who are Sigma Pis) that their Alpha chapter was closed for many years. Not sure why, but perhaps - and pure speculation on my part - it might have been a requirement by the NIC that to be a member of the NIC, all chapters had to be on a four year campus. In any case, many years later, the Sigma Pi IHQ made an acceptation to their "four year colleges rule" (and perhaps the NIC, if it was necessary to do so) so that their Alpha chapter could be re-chartered at Vincennes. I'm thinking this was in the 1960s or early 70s.
I didn't know that Pi Lambda Phi had a chapter at Vincennes. According to their website, their Vincennes chapter was founded in 1996. Again, this is just speculation on my part, but perhaps this may be after VU began to offer four year degrees.
