I realize that our chapters are smaller because we're not on huge greek campuses, but we're slowly increasing our overall number of chapters.

Several years ago, when my younger (biological) sister was attending Loyola-Marymount Univ in Los Angeles, she was looking to get another sorority added to the campus. I think they had four (DG, Alpha Phi, DZ, and KD) but the KD chapter was closing. I suggested she look into Theta Phi Alpha because of their shared Catholic heritage and I knew there was an active Theta Phi alum chapter in Los Angeles (I think there used to be a Theta Phi chapter in the early 1900's at UCLA). In the end, the Panhel office at Loyola Marymount chose Kappa Alpha Theta and that is where my sister pledged. I know that Pi Beta Phi has recently expanded to LMU but I STILL think Theta Phi Alpha should colonize there one of these days - I think it'd be a great fit!
