Expansions for 2006/2007

[AGDem]

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.

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!!!!

Alpha Sigma Tau will be colonizing this January at The University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Tx.

The Xi Deuteron Chapter of Fiji is supposed to be re-colonizing at Case Western Reserve University

I looked at their national website and haven't found anything about it, but it's been a subject of discussion in greek life here since at least sometime last spring.

So, good luck to Fiji, I look forward to seeing their house fixed up and full of brothers (it's so depressing as it is now)

Not sure, if LXA was the first there but any expansion is good.

We have 3 Chapters in San Antonio.

The best of luck to any who expand!

LittleE, will have to check thier web site to see who is there.

Many schools who were only locals because of R M Laws are interested in going National so it will be interesting what happens.

It would be a recolonization for KD at Beloit.

Triple congratulations to Delta Tau Delta!

Does a local sorority have to go through the same steps as an interest group in order to affiliate with a national?

[Tom Earp]

Not knowing for sure how Sororities work, I would imagine so. But, it would help if there is a strong group looking to affiliate as my local did with LXA!

Strength in numbers can always help to be looked at.

After a near nine-year absence, Sigma Chi is returning to the University of Rhode Island. A month-long, headquarters-driven New Chapter Initiative will begin in February 2007. When the new colony is formed in March, Delta Sigma will be 12 months away from regaining its charter.
