Anyone know of any other current Kappa Sigma expansionary activity?

Now, normally, I would be fine with this, but unfortunately the tactics they are using are not quite what they should be, including taking a guy who has been affiliated with, and subsequently kicked out of, all six other fraternities on campus (Lambda Chi Alpha, TKE, Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Pi, Kappa Alpha, Alpha Sigma Phi) and they aren't abiding by the University's rules(or the NIC's, which here everyone, even the Phi Delts, follow) about colonization.

In addition, we are already straining for numbers. At a 10,000 student school, all of Greek Life makes up only about 3% of the students. us guys are lucky if we can get half a dozen pledges per fall semester, and maybe half that for the spring. At this time our University cannot support another fraternity. Maybe in a few years, but definitely not now.

Just thought I'd let you guys know about this. Good luck in your expansions elsewhere.

tkehippy06 will no doubt be pleased. I see that our University of Southern Indiana colony has closed.

I'm not really pleased per se, but I'm a bit relieved. Maybe in a few years, if the college grows enough and the chapter size grows enough to where another chapter on campus wouldn't be a genuine threat to the survival of all the other chapters... I have no problems with another fraternity joining our campus, other than the fact that Greek life here is barely surviving at 3% of 10000 students.

That's not necessarily determinative, though. My alma mater had a similar issue (low Greek turnout), and Pike was able to come on campus and be successful (from what I've heard).

I understand what you're saying, but there can be situations where an extra Greek org could thrive. Then again, you're on campus, and know better than the rest of us if it has room for another fraternity.
