Princeton University Greeks

onip · #1 10-12-2007, 03:09 PM

Hello,

I am trying to re charter a chapter of Sigma Chi at Princeton University and I need some help with regards to the unique Greek system that I know doesn't exist on Princeton. I know they have Greeks, but not associated with the school.

If anyone could help me or put me in contact with some sororities presidents that would be great. Please PM me.

Thank you,

Regards,
Nick

When you say Greeks are there, I take it you mean either underground of locals?

You National would be the best source of information on their feelings. They do make the final decission.

Hey Tom, as to sororities, there are three NPC sororities with chapters at Princeton.

They are not underground or locals. The chapters are NIC and NPC chapters, recognized by their national headquarters, but not by the stupid dumb doody headed school.

How would nationals recognize them without the university recognizing them?? That makes no sense to me at all!

Not sure how it works, but it does. Harvard and Santa Clara are also like this. Although, I didn't think Princeton was. We can't even mention the university's name associated with our chapters!

That's why the NPHC has city-wide chapters. They are not based on any one campus. My org's chapter there includes Princeton, College of New Jersey and Rider University.

I *think* I know one of the charter members of that chapter.

They were charted in 1991. Google their website--Rho Epsilon, the names are listed.

That really opens up memembership possiblities then! But do you have to be in college to join - I mean, are there limitations? I know NPC orgs are only open to those who are attending/have attended 4 year universities - is it different for your org (or D9 orgs in general)?

To be invited to membership in a collegiate chapter of an NPHC organization, you must at least be a second semester freshman, matriculating at one of the campuses on the charter for that chapter.

For alumni initiates, you typically must possess a bachelors degree.

I'm surprised you didn't know this.

You forgot to mention a minimum GPA.

Delta also requires that you have a minimum number of credits that usually translates into sophomore status.

to add on to this, but if there isnt a city-wide chapter, some ppl cross-pledge, if the school doesnt have a chapter, but there is a chapter near by. for example, my boy who is FA05, he crossed Syracuse's chapter cuz his school doesnt have a chapter.

We call those core chapters.

It seems to me that a national org wouldn't place a chapter on a campus that wouldn't recognize it though... Are they even allowed to advertise recruitment? They couldn't do formal with no Greek Life office and no campus Panhel...
