This is according to UT Tyler press release press release already posted in this thread and as pointed out by AznSAE:

"Four fraternities and five sororities will make presentations on campus to potentially receive an invitation to colonize at UT Tyler in the near future, Mindy Sutton, director of student development, announced."

And this:

"The initial goal is to yield two North American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) fraternities, two National Panhellenic Council (NPC) sororities and one fraternity and sorority from the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC). The first fraternities and sororities could arrive on campus as early as fall 2005, said Sutton."

The groups that presented:

Alpha Chi Omega (selected)
Delta Gamma (selected)
Gamma Phi Beta
Sigma Kappa
Zeta Tau Alpha

Chi Phi
Lambda Chi Alpha
Pi Kappa Phi
Sigma Alpha Epsilon (selected)

Looks like the two NPC sororities have been selected with one more NIC fraternity and the NPHC sorority and fraternity still to be announced.

By the way, any word if the 'near future' will be fall 2005?

I know that is what UT Tyler has said, but on Delta Gamma's website it said it was one of three NPC groups chosen. So no one is sure if there are 2 or 3 sororities. It is very possible that the university felt there was enough interest at UT Tyler to bring in 3 groups instead of just 2. Just a thought.
