I'm not sure about other GLOs, but a new Tri Delta chapter has a field consultant with them for their first semester. DolphinChicaDDD is a founding member of a Tri Delta chapter, she might have better info.

Hey Tri Delts - since we have 2 new chapters for the fall, do you think they will choose more FCs than usual?

If I understand your question correctly, yes, sometimes alumnae from NPCs not represented on that campus will advise the CPH. I know for a fact that this is happening (with great results) at Santa Clara.

I don't know...that is a good question. I would maybe assume so, but maybe not if the area has a large number of active and willing alumni.

Congratulations to Lake Forest College and DDD!!!!

I used to live in Lake Forest :-)
Congrats to the new Tri-Deltas!

Yep,

We are most def. getting the Tri-Delts this upcoming weekend, upon their initiation. Involved with one of the national sororities on campus (ours, Alpha Kappa Alpha was the only one at LFC at the time), I knew the move to integrate the locals into nationals has been an ongoing and tedious process (and knowing some of the girls in Gamma Rho, the integrating chapter, it was somewhat of a meticulous ordeal), but I am glad that the Tri Delts are coming to campus!

And yes, Alpha Phi has recharted their chapter at Lake Forest. I believe they were deactivated (?) sometime in the 70's/80's, but they experienced renewal in the fall of 2003. They have blossomed as the "babies" (newest/re-newest (?) sorority introduced to Lake Forest before the Tri-Delts), and have been involved in numerous projects on and off campus. Kudos to Lake Forest College Greek Life!

Do you mean the paid greek life staff, or volunteers? I wouldn't mind helping out/answering questions for these girls, and it may be nice to have someone who wouldn't have any preferences.

At Santa Clara (where GLOs are unrecognized by the university), the Panhellenic Adviser is a volunteer alumna of another NPC group.

Alpha Phi's Gamma Phi chapter left campus in 1961 when all other NPC groups left campus.

Right now its still a colony for Alpha Phi. I haven't met then group but I hear they are lovely women. Since the colony is so close to our Executive Office they get lots of support and attention!

As we are having a local trying to affiliate w/NPC we have a state advisor for CPH. She would work with us, when this local has permission for extension from the College, and then I guess they would bring in resources from probably Whitewater, Madison and Rockford to help out. But NPC does assign an advisor, or that is how we understood it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

First, here's a little history from the Gamma Phi Omega web site:

In the late 1930s, the Greek organizations left the campus of Lake Forest College. It wasn't until 1988, when a group of young women wanted to organize a third sorority based on the ideals and principles of one of the sororities earlier housed at the College- Gamma Phi Beta.

Now, here's the announcement from the Delta Gamma web site!

The Council of Delta Gamma has voted to accept the invitation to colonize a chapter at Lake Forest College. Lake Forest College is in Lake Forest, IL, outside Chicago. Delta Gamma will affiliate with the local sorority of its choice, Gamma Phi Omega, in late
April. Delta Delta Delta and Alpha Phi are also colonizing and will join Delta Gamma in establishing a Panhellenic system.

YEAH, DG, DDD, and Alpha Phi!!!!

Congrats DDD. I love to hear of chapters expanded. It makes me so excited for the future of the greek systems. Go do awesome...
