Expansions for 2006/2007

Sigma Chi coming back to University of Oklahoma.

For the record--In July 2005, Pres. Boren at Oklahoma University sent a letter to Sigma Chi HQ inviting the Beta Kappa Chapter of Sigma Chi to return as a "recognized Student Organization" after January 17, 2006 upon completion of six state requirements. In February 2006, after completing 5 of the 6, and on the eve of commencement of the 6th, he changed his mind (after 17 presidents of the other on campus fraternities complained) and re-scheduled the chapter's return as a Student Organization for the spring of 2007 and return to the Chapter House for the fall of 2007.

Possible NPC Expansion at U. of Southern California (USC)

The college Panhellenic is supporting a local sorority at the U. of Southern California that wants to become a chapter of an NPC group. Reportedly the local is especially interested in either Alpha Epsilon Phi or Sigma Delta Tau. The local regards those sororities as being most closely aligned with the values and emphases of the local. An article in student paper mentions the proccess that will be followed to seek affiliation with a national:

Yeah, I know. But then there's the chance of getting a bunch of posts saying (correctly) that neither AEPhi nor SDT is exclusively Jewish, and -- for all I know -- that the USC local is not exclusively Jewish. Trouble like that I don't need.

ASU used to have a jewish sorority, Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi...but they decided to affiliate with Alpha Epsilon Phi

Actually there is no supposed Jewish or related GLO.

So supposedly it is a moot point!

Bored so have to post something!


Other than some of the things I cannot talk about, My lips are sealed!

--------------------------------------
Actually, AEPhi *is* a historically, predominantly Jewish NPC sorority -- and a pretty neat, classy sorority overall too, I think. :-)

(It also shares in common with AOII its origins at academically prestigious Barnard College and first extension to Sophie Newcomb College in Louisiana. Other cool fact: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is an initiated member. Go AEPhi!)

Panhellenically,

[Tom Earp]

So, does that mean they do not take non jewish members?

My brother's chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi was finally re-chartered on Nov. 4th:

MARQUETTE, MICHIGAN – The Old Gal welcomed 27 new brothers into the Mystic Circle and officially re-chartered the Delta Beta Chapter at Northern Michigan University on Saturday, November 4, 2006.

A day three years in the making started with the initiation of our newest brothers into the Delta Beta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi.

The day’s events culminated with a formal banquet of over fifty people at the Radisson in downtown Marquette later that evening. The banquet was attended by Delta Beta alumni, undergraduate Delta Beta brothers and dates, representatives from other Greek organizations, and parents. Gus Rydholm, Northern Michigan ’80 served as the emcee for the chartering banquet.

The re-chartering of Delta Beta was a tremendous day for the “Old Gal” and specifically the Brothers of the Delta Beta Chapter. Through the steady stewardship of the undergraduate Brothers, alumni Brothers, Northern Michigan University and the Alpha Sigma Phi National Office, the Delta Beta Chapter has begun a new era with renewed strength.

Hooray for Delta Beta Chapter!!!

Expansion Update

The expansion team at Appalachian State University wrapped up its efforts when it pledged 70 new members on Saturday, Nov. 11. The men represent sophomores, juniors and seniors. An academic leader in the fraternity world, the colony continues to promote the values of Delta Tau Delta with a 3.14 composite GPA, the highest on campus.

The men of the ASU began their efforts with a six-hour retreat on Sunday, Nov. 12. The retreat focused on goal setting, vision, crafting a mission statement and discussing hurdles to the colony's success.

In other expansion news, the Delta colonization at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor concluded Oct. 12 when the Fraternity pledged 53 men with a composite GPA of 3.3.

The Gamma Tau colonization at University of Kansas completed Sept. 28. The colony began with 41 men with a 3.14 composite GPA.


Welcome new brothers, and way to go!

Outstanding for the Men and Brothers of Delta Tau Delta.

Congratulations to one and all!

I know it makes one very happy Brother right T E!

So I have no idea if this is in this thread or another...

Beloit College (Beloit, WI) is open for expansion. DPhiE and KD are presenting next week! Two other orgs responded, but pulled their interest. The campus only has AST and two locals (one is staying local, one is seeking NPC affiliation). (Plus TKE, SigChi, and PhiPsi) I am way excited to see this local go NPC! Best of luck to both groups presenting!!!!
