Like Sciencewoman, I think it would be nice to see some of our other currently inactive single letter chapters come back. The ones I believe are currently inactive are:
Stanford (Lambda)
Northwestern (Rho)
DePauw (Theta)
Kansas (Phi)
Tulane (Pi)
NYU (Nu)
Cornell (Epsilon)
Syracuse (Chi)
UPenn (Psi)
Brown (Beta)
Randoph-Macon (Kappa)
Wisconsin-Madison (Eta)
I would also like to see us at more schools in the Boston area--MIT, Harvard, BU, Northeastern.
I'm excited about all of our re/colonizations, though. I love to see and hear about the Alpha Love spreading to different campuses! |
The history book sold during our Centennial has lots of interesting chapter histories.
Brown is an interesting case. We have that chapter because we absorbed a local that had chapters at UMaine, Brown and Tufts, but Beta never actually functioned. The story is that Greek life was being closed at Brown so those women were initiated and immediately made alumnae. If you look at irishpipes' thread, though, you'll see that KAT and SK were on campus until 1912 after Beta closed in 1908.
Kappa was at Randolph Macon Women's College in Lynchburg (now Randolph College.) Randolph College doesn't have NPCs. Per Wiki, "The college [Randolph Macon] has a historical relationship with Randolph College (formerly known as Randolph–Macon Woman's College) in Lynchburg, Virginia. The former women's college was founded under Randolph–Macon's original charter in 1893 by the then-president William Waugh Smith; it was intended as a female counterpart to Randolph–Macon. The two schools later separated to become distinct institutions governed by two separate boards. Randolph–Macon College became co-educational in 1971 with the enrollment of 50 women and the first full-time female faculty member. (Randolph College became co-educational in 2007.)"
