From a college friend who is a Sigma Pi:

Sigma Pi is expanding in Fall 2006 to:

Ohio State University - re-charter
University of Michigan - re-charter
University of Delaware - new chapter
Kansas State University - new chapter
University of Texas at San Antonio - new chapter

Has anybody heard if any campuses will be open for expansion?

Tom--I think you should just accept that NPC Extension is the way that it is for our own reasons, and stop offering "help" EVERYTIME the topic comes up.

Kind of like how I have to accept that I will NEVER understand one of your posts without serious translation help.

I didn't know that Union College of Kentucky had any national GLOs. (i.e. IFC/NIC, NPC, NPHC). Is this something completely new (campus opening to Greek Life) or do they have local(s) that are going to affiliate with an inter/national(s)?

By the way, what does RFP mean?

It's a brand new system just like UT-Tyler and Greek Life is being introduced for the first time.

RFP means Request for Proposal.

Thank you for the explanation and update. I'm pleased to hear that Greek Life is coming to Union.

By the way, does an RFP refer/apply to both universities requesting to start a system (starting from scratch) as well as requests from an existing NPC system that is looking to expand?

Yes, it does. When a campus decides to add an NPC group for any reason, the “proper authority”, meaning the university administration and/or Collegiate Panhellenic Association, contacts the NPC Extension Chairwoman. This is a written statement and if there is a Collegiate Panhellenic Association, the minutes for the meeting showing where extension approval was given.

At that point, NPC will send a bulletin to all 26 groups saying that College University is officially open. There will be details about the school, their reason for expansion and a timeline. This timeline usually includes dates for permissible exploratory visits, RFP deadlines, and estimated dates for presentations and so on.

Groups interested in the extension opportunity will submit their RFPs (packets) by the deadline. The decision of whom to send presentation invitations is based largely on those RFPs.

If your are refering to Central Methodist in Mo. and UIW, NIC has colonized in both.

LXA in UIW and is Chartered. Not sure who did at CMU.

Knox and Union I am not sure about but both sound familiar for NIC.

Let us know if you find something out.

Central Methodist University in Missouri has had local fraternities and sororities for many years. In the past couple of years, two of the fraternities have joined national GLOs. Sigma Alpha Chi became a chapter of Phi Delta Theta and Delta Sigma Psi became Tau Kappa Epsilon. Perhaps all of their organizations are looking into going national?

Local fraternities: Delta Beta Tau and Chi Delta

Local sororities: Delta Pi Omega, Sigma Pi Alpha, Zeta Psi Lambda, and Alpha Gamma Psi.
