NPC chapters at HBCU schools
I did a search and couldn't find anything.
My question is, are there any NPC member sororities that have an active chapter on a HBCU campus?
Thanks.

Not that I am aware. There was an NPC that attempted to colonize at Tennessee State a little more than 10 years ago. I don't recall if they actually acheived colony status or not but I do know that they never chartered.

From Clayton State's site:
Quote:
Are Auxiliary Organizations permitted at Clayton State University?
As of Thursday, March 16, 2006, CLAYTON STATE UNIVERSITY does NOT 'authorize,' 'recognize' or 'approve of' the existence of any Chapter affiliated Auxiliary Organization ('sweethearts, diamonds, little sisters/brothers, courts, kittens, etc'). Students are encouraged to report any solicitation of any fraternity & sorority to join an Auxiliary Organization ('sweethearts, diamonds, little sisters/brothers, courts, kittens, etc') to the Associate Dean of Students or contact the Fraternity & Sorority Life Advisor immediately.
*Please note, Auxiliary Organizations are NOT the same as a Fraternity or Sorority and should not be considered and/or treated as such.

Awww @ the final note. It made me chuckle and wonder about the circumstances that caused the school to actually make that statement.

Maybe it is referring to those aux groups that now say they are their own org. with their own governance, etc., e.g., KKI or Sigma Doves.

I'm guessing that they are probaby speaking primarily to those NPHC orgs that continue to have sweetheart groups even though their orgs don't support or permit it. From what I've seen, the schools don't usually get involved in this but I guess Clayton sees these groups as liabilities and has enough work keeping up with their greeks. Also, their Greek Life office may have become tired of unfavorable behavior commonly noticed and/or reported on their campus. I'm thinking that a bigger incident probably occurred. That's usually when the school will get involved.

I feel like certain NPCs would fit a niche at HBCUs, especially the ones founded to be non-sectarian.

Question: Is Clayton State (GA) an HBCU? I know that Alpha Sigma Alpha has been selected to colonize there. I believe they're the first NPC to colonize there as the school only has NPHC groups, and have heard it refered to as an HBCU.

It seems like an HBCU. It looks like all the GLOs are NPHC.

Regardless, I wish ASA all the best in its latest endeavor.

You're right.
The school site didn't tell much and I had never heard of Clayton State until today.
Then I saw that it isn't listed on these two sites: http://www.edonline.com/cq/hbcu/ga.htm and http://www.ed.gov/about/inits/list/w...lite-list.html

No, Clayton State isn't an HBCU. Clayton State is similar to Kennesaw State and Armstrong Atlantic State, if any of you are familiar with those schools, just it was converted to "state college and university" status more recently.
Clayton State is a beautiful campus and has a strong music program - the school has been growing by leaps and bounds and being from the area I'm proud of it

Let's remember what HBCU stands for: Historically Black College or University.

As opposed to Hypothetically or Happened-to-become.

It used to be a Junior College until the mid-80s and won't have dorms until this fall. The median age is 29. Such an environment isn't a huge disadvantage for NPHC orgs.
(UDC has similar demographics and has all nine NPHCs)
ETA: UDC is definitely an HBCU though, so don't listen to me.
