Right, FIJI!
I agree with the Phi Gam about JuCos, aka community colleges,
not being a hotspot for NIC fraternities. I graduated from one,
Hutchinson, one of the prestige ones, and was Dean at another.
I did the survey of the JCs for TKE and NIC in the 1970s and we
did not come up with a positive study. Yet, Teke and others went
on, anyway. They all died. End of story.
Sigma Pi, through special dispensation from NIC, returned to the
mother institution after about a fifty year absence. This is one of
the few cerebral moves NIC has made and Sigma Pi has thrived.
Another interesting note on fraternal history...what to do with the
two chapters in case of a national merger? Good example, the
Case Institute of Technology and Western Reserve University, in
Cleveland, both of 'em with some chapter duplication. I do not know that resolution. Other mergers caused a release by certain
chapters to join another national or to go local. I can think of
Sig Ep, Lambda Chi, Theta Xi having to deal with these problems,
and the implosion of Kappa Sigma Kappa and Alpha Gamma Upsilon was another enigma. Check out Baird's if you have become a fruitcake on this stuff...like me...LOL.
Oh, yes, not to slight the women...defunct sororities, Beta Sigma
Omicron, Pi Kappa Sigma, Theta Sigma Upsilon, Delta Sigma Epsilon, perhaps others...mostly swallowed up by larger ones.
Then there are the schools which have closed, and those which
have banned greeks, some nationals, some all of 'em. And the
transferring of charters...and so on...kinda fun.
