Anyone know of any other current Kappa Sigma expansionary activity?

Good luck indeed IF a colony there materializes. Note that Lucy KKG simply posted that she had just heard a rumour ... not even that, "whispers" ... of a possible Kappa Sig colony. Whispers of a possible colony is far short of a colony actually getting off the ground. Over a year ago, chicostateksig advised that he had heard rumours of new Kappa Sig colonies at the University of the Pacific and the University of California at Merced, and a recolonization of presently inactive/dormant Beta-Phi Chapter at UC Dsvis. To date, none of those colonies have been established. So a UC Santa Cruz colony may not be in the works at all.

Well, there's a Facebook group, and I've seen a few events announced. I'm just not sure what their status is with Kappa Sigma HQ or my school's office for student orgs. We don't have an office for Greek life, so they wouldn't know anything about it. I know there's the intent, I'm just not sure how far along everything is.

Hi Everyone,
The colony at UCSD is currently 30 something strong in membership. We are very close in getting our charter, and we hope this coming Spring Rush we can get at least 20 more people interested. Our colony was started last spring by some of the original members so its been a great year for our colony. UCSD lacks a frat row like other schools and recruitment is sort of tough especially for colonies like us that are simply trying to meet the 50 member total. On campus we have most of the major fraternities, Pi Kappa Alpha, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Sigma Chi, Sigma Nu, TKE, Delta Sigma Phi, Sigma Alpha Mu, Lambda Chi Alpha, and FIJI. Colonies that are present besides these established frats are Triangle and ZBT. The last fraternity to turn from colony into chartered member was FIJI. Most of the established frats have excellent turnouts and aren't struggling.

Davis is in fact going to recolonize soon our recruitment manager has told us that work is already being under way. of course this can take a while. They have to start an interest group a couple guys have already been recruited. one of the brothers has a blood brother in Davis that is going to re-colonize the Beta-Phi chapter. As for UoP nothing yet, Merced nothing as well. On a final note the Academy of the Art Colony is going to get its charter. It has not acquired 50 men however since they are the only fraternity on their campus they can get chartered. We may be one of the teams that initiates them.

As a former GM, GS and AAA of my collegiate chapter, I'm quite aware of the colonization process, having talked extensively with the Founding Fathers of the chapter. Thanks for the clarification, but I understood Lucy KKG's post quite clearly, and was merely wishing luck to those who were contemplating starting a chapter.

ETA: As I noted before, if you have some issue with my posting, etc., I'd appreciate it if you PMd me.

Nobody was suggesting that you are or are not "aware of the colonization process" and I don't think that anybody has any issues with your postings. But wishing good luck to a colony [which does not even yet exist and may never exist] is much different than wishing good luck to those who are or might be contemplating trying to start one. The latter clearly comes before the former. But thank you for clarifying the intention of your initial posting.

As for my posting, I just wanted to be sure that anybody who read your posting ,perhaps without having read the prior postings or without having read them carefully, did not form the mistaken idea that Kappa Sigma now has a colony at UC Santa Cruz.
