Where Would You Want to See a Sigma Chi Chapter?

[LaneSig]

Hey Guys,

I know that Headquarters is trying to bring back University of Oklahoma. What campuses would you like to see Sigma Chi?

I would like to see the chapters re-charted at: Missouri, Texas, Michigan, and Texas State (old Southwest Texas State).

I would like to see us expand to:
Rhodes College - in Memphis, Tn. Great school, beautiful campus. I don't know the last time they got a new chapter.
Truman State University - Kirksville, Missouri. Pretty good Greek Life school.
Missouri Western State - St. Joseph, Missouri. Greek Life is growing strong.
Florida International University - Miami (?), Florida. Check out their Greek Life website. A very strong Greek program.

Oh, I would like to see Gettysburg College re-charted. Very sad to lose such an old chapter.

I believe that one of our alumni (Iota Omicron Chapter at Western Illinois University) is working on the Missouri chapter to get them re-chartered. He works for a school in Missouri and I do believe he is working diligently on that.

That's great. I would like to see Xi Xi come back. It seems that we lost a lot of chapters at "flagship" schools all around the same time.

According to latest copy of Magazine of Sigma Chi, Headquarters requested permission to reactivate the University of Oklahoma chapter. The president of the university declined. Since it has only been 2 years, he may be waiting another 2 or 3 until all present members of Sigma Chi have graduated.

Current expansions and colonies:

University of Tennessee - Martin; have been a colony for at least 2 years, should be getting close

University of Tampa - new colonization

Knox College - taking on a local

George Washington University - believe this is a re-charter

University of New Mexico - re-charter

Anymore that anyone has heard?

Polytechnic College of Pennsylvania closed according to an old History of Sigma Chi book at our headquarters. It closed a couple years after the folding of the chapter there. I could not find a reference to it being absorbed by another institution.

^^ That is great! Like both TSteven and I said, it's a good tool for guys on those campuses who might want to start interest groups.

Zeta Kappa - University of California Santa Barbara

I joined this chapter in S'07 and one year later our house was taken away from us. I would to see this house make a come back on campus, it was full of great guys who brought a lot to the campus and community.

I am also curious who I should attempt to contact in an attempt to try and make steps toward bring back our chapter. I joined as a freshmen and next year will be my last year on campus and I would really like to try and bring Sigma Chi back to UCSB. Thanks guys and I hope to hear from you soon.

It depends on the stipulations the school made when the chapter was closed. It could be that they established a specific date for return, or required that the Fraternity could not come back until all former members had left the school, or any number of other stipulations. I would recommend contacting Sigma Chi HQ and speaking with the Director of Expansion.

You could visit the Greek Life Office on campus and speak with someone there about the steps needed to bring the chapter back to campus but its probably best if you go through HQ.

When I get bored, I make lists. I was in an 8 hour staff development yesterday, so I was bored out of my mind.

Recharters I would like to see:
Ohio University
Lafayette College (PA)
Clarion University (PA) - this one may be in the works
Missouri State University (former Southwest Missouri State University)
Northern Illinois University
Bowling Green State University (OH)
Washington & Jefferson (PA) former Iota chapter of Jefferson College

New campuses I would like to see:
Rhodes College (Memphis, TN)
University of Central Arkansas
University of Central Missouri
Truman State University (MO)
University of North Carolina-Wilmington
University of North Carolina-Greensboro
East Carolina University
William Woods University (MO)
Baker University (KS)
University of Nebraska-Kearney
Grand Valley State University (MI)

I realize I am a bit top heavy with midwest and southeast locations.
