That is fantastic news, chicostateksig. Topping the Theta Chis, Sigma Chis, Phi Delts, Delta Chis, and others is a real achievement. Hopefully, you will be able to do it again in the Fall.

Hopefully your colony will now prepare and forward to IMH a petition that the SEC will find satisfactory. It certainly will be excellent to have another Northern California chapter. As we presently only have active chapters at UC Berkeley, Stanford, San Jose State, Sacramento State, and Cal State Stanislaus, we are moderately, but not highly, represented in Northern California. A sixth chapter at Chico will be a significant and long-overdue addition (we should have been at Chico years ago). Hopefully, your colony/chapter will be followed soon by a recolonization of Beta-Phi Chapter at UC Davis, and a colonization of the University of the Pacific, an excellent school we should also have been at years ago. THEN the Fraternity would have a really strong Northern California presence.

First things first though. Congrats on your pledge class and good luck with your petition. Keep us posted on developments.
