chicostateksig:
I have not seen the e-mail from IMH that you mention in your post, so I do not know whether you are quoting it verbatim, or putting it into you own words, but part of what you have posted is simply not correct.
The CSU Northridge colony was indeed installed as Rho-Delta Chapter, and, although you did not mention it, the University of Alaska at Anchorage colony was subsequently installed as Rho-Epsilon Chapter. That is why the next new chapter to be installed, at Florida Gulf Coast University (which the Fraternity has had to refer to as The Colony at Fort Myers because it does not have FGCU recognition) will be named Rho-Zeta.
it is interesting that the High Point University colony will be the next colony chartered (as Rho-Eta), followed by the UNO colony (as Rho-Theta). HPU was a colony for less than a year; the UNO colony for more than two years. One obviously was an immediate success; the other obviously struggled.
What you have posted that is INCORRECT is that the Gamma-Upsilon colony at Rutgers has got its (not "their"; "Colony" is singular) charter back. The colony HAS been approved to be rechartered. In fact, it had been so-approved about a year ago, but some Code of Conduct issued resulted in the withdrawal/postponement of that approval. That approval has now been granted once again. But the rechartering is still just over a week away, on April 17th. So until the rechartering ceremony, the colony has NOT regained the Gamma-Upsilon charter. Only after the colony has been reinstalled as an active chapter has the charter been restored.
The same is true with regard to the Delta-Nu colony at UCLA. I understand that it HAS been approved for rechartering as Delta-Nu Chapter, and I assume that a date has been set for that significant event. But I don't know what it is. Only after the reinstallation ceremony (well, technically, at a certain moment in the ceremony) will Delta-Nu have had its charter restored.
Incidentally, as a Kappa Sig, you should know that in Kappa Sigma, two Greek letter chapter designations, such as the aforesaid Gamma-Upsilon, Delta-Nu, Rho-Delta, Rho-Epsilon, etc., and your own chapter's Pi-Iota, are always hyphenated.
