Most NPC groups on any campus

[oldu]

Of the 26 NPC sororities, interestingly no school has ever had a chapter of all of them.

According to my count, three universities have had all but one:

Illinois is missing Alpha Sigma Tau
Penn State is missing Alpha Sigma Tau
Syracuse is missing Sigma Sigma Sigma

Three more universities have had 24:

U.C.L.A. is missing Alpha Sigma Tau & Sigma Sigma Sigma
Indiana is missing Alpha Sigma Tau & Phi Sigma Sigma
Ohio State is missing Alpha Sigma Tau & Sigma Sigma Sigma

Penn State, Indiana & Illinois have the most currently active at 20, 19 & 18.

Am I missing any other school with a high percentage of groups, or have I missed a chapter anywhere?

Interesting stuff. Thanks for posting it!

WOW!

[irishpipes]

Oldu, I have compiled a list with all of the NPC ever on every campus that has ever had them. It is located here. You may enjoy looking at it.

[oldu]

Double wow!!! Your list represents a lot of work.

I found another two schools that have had all but three:

Miami (Ohio) - missing Delta Phi Epsilon, Phi Sigma Sigma & Theta Phi Alpha

Michigan - missing Alpha Sigma Alpha. Alpha Sigma Tau & Sigma Sigma Sigma

Wow! Irishpipes & oldu, I think y'all should collaborate, and put out an updated Baird's Manual! The last update was in 1991, if I remember properly.

Sad. But not surprising that it's AST and Tri Sig, as we're both sororities focused primarily on former teaching schools.

This is a really interesting thread! I noticed in irishpipes' linked thread that AST is at 2 of Penn State's branch campuses, so does that technically count to give us all 26? (j/k, I know they're separate greek systems)

What blows my mind about that is the fact that Syracuse has had all the NPC groups but one there, and they only have 12 now. That means they've had 13 leave.

There may be others, but as far as I can recall, there are (at least) nine other national organizations that at one time belonged to the NPC. All of which either disbanded or merged with/were acquired by another NPC organization.

Alpha Delta Theta
Beta Phi Alpha
Beta Sigma Omicron
Delta Sigma Epsilon
Iota Alpha Pi
Phi Omega Theta
Pi Kappa Sigma
Theta Sigma Upsilon
Theta Upsilon

So if you were to add these nine to the current twenty-six NPC organizations, I wonder which campuses would have had the most chapters out of thirty-five (26 current NPCs plus 9 former NPCs).

Syracuse has issues.

TS - glad you brought this up because my next project is to add the former NPC chapters to my list!!

Über Wow!

[irishpipes]

Anyone with a Bairds would be appreciated!

[Leslie Anne]

I've got almost all of them. (1 to 4 and 10 to 20) I can do some checking if you'd like.


Anyone know the years for any of those 9 organizations. That would really help!
