Where would you like to see your sorority/fraternity colonize/recolonize?

[jennyj87]

Hey all. I thought I'd start this topic. I looked to see if anyone has done this before and couldn't find anything.

So here is the question:
Where would you like to see your sorority/fraternity colonize/recolonize?

Personally, I would love to see Tri Delta back at the University of Rhode Island. My parents live 5 minutes down the road and it would be great to see them at that campus. Especially since there are so few chapters in New England. Tri Delta was removed there in the 80's, and I know a bunch of alum still live there (I mean lets face it, its rhode island, no one ever leaves ).

Thoughts?

Hey, I left RI! I went to URI, and it's even my home town!

I'd like to see us at UNC Charlotte since it's close to me. UMass is also a place I'd love for us to colonize. I used to really want UConn, but it happened!

I would love to see Kappa back at University of Maryland College Park. The Gamma Psi chapter there was active from 1929-1992. The Johns Hopkins chapter was founded in 1999 and currently we're the only Maryland chapter! It would be nice to have another chapter in MD... right now the closest is Gamma Chi at GW in DC. I've also heard rumors that there were some bad feelings from area alums about opening the JHU chapter in '99 instead of re-opening the UMDCP chapter, so it might help alleviate any issues there.

UMDCP has really nice houses, too! Granted, it's one of the very few Greek Rows I've seen, but when I was driving around I was very impressed... especially since JHU sororities are unhoused!

I'd also love to see Kappa back at UPenn for the purely arbitrary reason that I absolutely loved the school when I was a high school senior and toured the campus, and that it's one of our few really old chapters that's inactive NOT due to the fact that the school no longer exists or no longer has Greek life. Beta Delta chapter was there from 1890-1977.

Ah, this is such a fun topic! haha.

I would love to see AOII's UBC chapter open again and see a chapter at the university of Windsor.

I would like to see our Michigan Delta chapter at University of Detroit-Mercy come back. They were the ones who made our affiliation with SigEp possible and we were working extremely hard trying to save them.

Like I said in the Kappa thread...I'd love to see AOII back at Columbia, though, it wouldn't be our Alpha chapter since we were founded specifically at Barnard. Maybe it would be the Alpha Alpha chapter!

[KSUViolet06]

I'd love to see these chapters back:

Kappa - Miami (OH)
Beta Kappa - Arizona State
Rho - Florida State
Phi - Ohio University
Epsilon Xi- Indiana University


Where I'd like to see us colonize (to name a few):

Louisiana State - we have 4 other chapters in the state and we've looked into it before I believe, but it didn't happen.

Ohio State - I'd love for there to be a 3rd chapter in OH and another Big 10 chapter (besides Penn State).

SDSU - I'm from there, and it would be nice to have another chapter in CA.

I'd like to see Kappa Alpha Theta recolonize here:

University of Tennessee
University of South Carolina
University of North Carolina
Wake Forest
Oregon
Massachusetts
Arkansas
Montana State
Dartmouth
Virginia Tech
Villanova
Furman
South Florida

Colonize here:

University of Louisville
Transylvania University
Western Kentucky University
Bellarmine

I'd love to have some of Gamma Phi Beta's closed chapters recolonized, but here's one I bet no one else will suggest: I'd like us to colonize at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Wash. Why? Because then we would have a chapter at every greek school in Washington state - something no sorority has accomplished!

Our Gamma Gamma chapter is in Walla Walla. I always thought that was cute!

I'd love to see us recolonize Kappa chapter at Miami (OH), Beta Nu at Fresno State (my hometown!), and any of our other dormant California chapters. I'd also love to see us colonize in the Washington, DC area.

I'd lovelovelove to see ADPi back at Ole Miss. (Delta Beta chapter??? can't remember so forgive me if I'm wrong)

I know the house is now the Honors college, but I thought we needed a different house anyway.
