Expansions for 2006/2007

[sdbeta1]

Beta Theta Pi is colonizing Iowa State, University of Miami, Southern Cal, Dayton, and Kettering A/B.

[tallgreekalum]

We have new affiliates at:
Duke
New Hampshire
Brandeis
Northeastern

Interest groups at:
Boston U.
Michigan State

Expansion plans
Recolonize at:
Miami
NYU(maybe)

Colonize at:
UNC

Pretty agressive for us, but 3 of our 4 new affiliates are former locals, so we expect that chartering should go quickly. The Miami effort is mostly alumni driven, as they are well-organized. If all of these projects work out, we will be 33% larger when all is said and done.

As the new academic year begins, Zeta Psi already has 2 very strong colonies at the University of Georgia and Binghamton University (NY) . The re-activation of our Bloomsburg University Chapter, the Pi Kappa is also underway. We’re also looking at a number of possible expansion opportunities. Here are the schools we’re looking at right now:

* Arizona State University - 12 man Interest Group in place
* Florida State University - continuing it's recruitment
* George Mason University - several interested men already
* Stanford University - Mu - a targeted restart this Fall
* University of Miami - a core group is coming together right now
* University of Minnesota - Alpha Beta - several Pledges already for this restart
* University of Texas - Iota Alpha - looking to restart this Fall
* Vanderbilt University (TN) - 2 transfers from Tulane are looking to start a new group here

ZTA is colonizing at Saint Louis University! (I know no other details)

[AEPhiSierra]

Alpha Epsilon Phi is recolonizing our Epsilon Zeta chapter at Arizona State University and our Epsilon Nu chapter at San Diego State University.

[AOII*Azra-elle]

We are expanding on 3 campuses:

Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology has already had it's colonization party back in the spring, April I believe.

University of Arkansas and University of La Verne are doing colonization parties this fall.

And the University of Waterloo.

I really hope you are misinformed. The last thing UNC needs is yet another fraternity.

I'm curious as to why you feel UNC does not need another fraternity?

[Sailboat Sis]

I believe UNC is up to 21 fraternities that are IFC, plus two that are in the process of recolonizing. While some houses are doing very well for themselves, other houses are struggling. I do not think expanding, in terms of the number of houses, will do anything beneficial for those that need more members. The current policies make it too easy to add more chapters to our campus, whereas they should be structured like Panhel's where a house has to join through hoops to return/colonize. I also take issue the disportionate number of fraternities to sororities... and that when we have mixers, the ratio is probably 2.5 girls to 1 boy.

SailboatSis,

I don't think you're going to get anywhere on this one. Boys are different.

Just have mixers with 2 fraternities at once.

[Buttonz]

As it was said already, we are colonizing at Pace and at Nova Southeastern in FL

And this is a bad thing?

Hey, us girls prefer it to be a bit more the other way. That said we had plenty of socals with 3 small fraternities to our 1 sorority. That was fun to..

Tom: NPC expansion WORKS for the vast majority of cases. Women who choose not to join existing GLOs do not tend to do so because of the GLO in question, but because of the women in the GLOs. Those women would be the same no matter the letters because they're all coming from the university.

Muah! This is coming from a boy, no less.

Back to the topic at hand...I heard Alpha Phi will be recolonizing at UNC-Wilmington in a few weeks.
