Fall 2007/Spring 2008 Sorority Recruitment Dates/Results

[33girl]

ip -

ASA also had a chapter at Ball State. (The Chi Chi chapter!!)

Also, to the best of my knowledge we were never at IU South Bend - just the main IU.

I'll email you sometime this week as I think I have founding dates for most of these.

Oh and U of Southern Indiana & Southern Indiana U are the same thing, at least I thought they were...

Thank you! ASA is one of the NPCs that I have limited info for.

My bad. That makes sense. I understand now. I just missed it before.

Hey irishpipes!

Great thread! However, one minor correction. My AGD chapter is actually the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Honolulu, HI. UH-Hilo is part of the UH system, but they're on a different island and (so far) have no Greek Life.

Fall recruitment is still TBD as we're still the only NPC presence on that campus.

Thanks again for that comprehensive list!

Just out of curiosity, why is it that practically none of the NPC orgs. care about establishing chapters in Hawaii?

I would wager the expense of travel has something to do with it. OTW can fill you in as to any other reasons, I'm sure.

33girl's right on the money.

Also being a commuter campus doesn't help at all. Greek life is very weak on campus...as far as sororities go, anyway. For some reason lots of guys want to go Greek (we have Kappa Sigma, TKE, and a local) but girls haven't been so enthusiastic. While the # of girls my chapter brings in each NM class remains steady, there simply isn't enough interest for an NPC to say "hey -- we want to invest $$$ and alumnae time so that we can colonize at UHM!"

The Hawaii Alumnae Chapter was established in 1936. AGD-Delta Sigma was finally established in 1992 (it's our 15th anniversary year!). Almost 60 years of hard work and persistence from the alums made my chapter a reality. Till 1992, there were only locals on campus. These locals remain dormant for the most part, and according to some of my friends in these orgs, only rush when they feel like it.

A few semesters ago a saw flyers for an NPC interest group around campus. I was curious why they chose XYZ because a) XYZ doesn't even have a Hawaii APH representative in Hawaii b) they're one of the newer NPCs not so much represented out West. Don't think it ever got off the ground because there hasn't been word about them ever since.

Don't get me wrong, it would be wonderful to have another NPC on campus to revive Greek Life...but unless there's a strong enough alumnae support...I just don't see it happening in the near future.

Holy cow that's impressive.

A few minor changes:

Monmouth College: Kappa Kappa Gamma 1870-? (I think it's 1878--same as Pi Phi, but would have to check my history book to be certain)/1934-

Iowa State: Zeta Tau Alpha 1926-1939/1970-1998; Alpha Phi 1977-1998; the ISU Greek website has Kappa Delta as being reestablished in 1905 and Pi Beta Phi as being reestablished in 1906. Also going by the timeline on that site, I'd guess Delta Delta Delta closed around 1894.

Simpson College: Kappa Kappa Gamma 1880-1890/1990-

This is an awesome list...

[GeekyPenguin]

The Theta Phi Alpha chapter at Wisconsin-Platteville has been dormant at least since 2001.

Corrections for University of Arizona, Tucson

Alpha Chi Omega - 1930 - 1969; 1980 -
Delta Zeta - 1930 - 1935; 1966 - 1978
Delta Delta Delta - 1946 - 1984; 1989 -

Thanks for your help! Just to clarify about KD at ISU - I don't have them chartered until 1908, do you think they were chartered before that and then recolonized in 1905? KD is another one that I have pretty sketchy info on, so if you can clarify, I would appreciate it!

I think you have the right information; I just checked the Iowa State KD chapter website and they state they were chartered in 1908. The Greek Affairs history page must be incorrect.

Just an FYI...There is no longer a Chi Omega chapter at UTEP...i believe it went dormant in the 80's....or early 90's.

[blackngoldengrl]

FYI: the Tri-Delta chapter at Dickinson closed in during 2001-2002 school year I believe. That was the last year they participated in recruitment anyway. This is a neat list, there are some sororities that were listed for my school that I didn't even know we had!
