NIC Expansion at UC Riverside
Well, since there are so many expansion threads going on right now, and all of them are directed toward Panhellenic, I thought I would add a thread for the guys...
The University of California, Riverside has been undergoing the expansion process. Currently, these are the chapters on campus:
Alpha Tau Omega
Delta Tau Delta
Kappa Alpha Order
Lambda Chi Alpha
Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI)
Phi Delta Theta (may be closing soon)
Phi Kappa Sigma
Pi Kappa Alpha
Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Beta Theta Pi have recently closed (within the last 3 years) and will cannot be included in the formal expansion process.
We've sent out official letters to all other NIC organizations and have narrowed it down to 10 fraternities to choose from. The IFC presidents have reviewed each fraternity's materials for expansion and have scored them to see who will make it to the next "round" (if you can call it that). The 10 fraternities that are eligible for expansion interviews are (in no particular order):
Delta Chi
Delta Upsilon
Sigma Phi Epsilon
Tau Kappa Epsilon
Sigma Chi
Alpha Kappa Lambda
Delta Sigma Phi
Phi Kappa Psi
Pi Kappa Phi
(I believe Zeta Psi is the 10th, but not completely sure... we don't have materials from them)
The Presidents have scored the fraternities and interviews will begin within the next month or so. By the end of June, we should have another fraternity colonizing on campus! And hopefully, Panhellenic will soon realize the need for an increase in house total and/or an option of expansion!
