Thanks for the new thread, LaneSig! Could you please add these announced extensions to your list:

Gamma Phi Beta will be recolonizing at the University of Kentucky, and colonizing at Virginia Commonwealth, both this fall.

In spring, 2020, we will be colonizing at Cal State - San Marcos.

Best wishes to all the upcoming colonies for all organizations!

[DeltaEmi88]

Delta Delta Delta will be colonizing at Tulane University in 2019-2020, according to EO's Facebook post. I'm guessing this means that the colonization will occur in Fall.

Ole Miss Panhellenic announced that Alpha Chi Omega will be colonizing Fall 2020. https://m.facebook.com/UMcph/

Wow! Did we Beetlejuice this?

The Alpha chapter of FIJI at Washington and Jefferson College has been closed down. Students got an email about it this morning. Due to drug abuse, underage drinking, hazing(?), and the fact that they had been in trouble for a while. I am unsure if it has been announced nationally but it is known throughout the campus’ Greek system.

So sorry to hear this for the thousands of FIJIs, if this is their Alpha chapter. I sincerely hope that they can make some changes and come back in the future. It has been done at some of the legacy chapters at Pitt that lost recognition for similar problems, so don't give up hope. Get to work and save your Alpha chapter!!
