Schools that need to open for NPC expansion

[pinksequins]

Clarification for Colgate: All of the groups have a retention issue. New member classes are huge because there are only 3 NPC groups, and, if you can dig up older copies of the University paper, the administration has not been Greek-friendly. Theta closed at Colgate roughly the same time that it closed at Johns Hopkins. Like JHU (now recolonized), I think Theta has an agreement to return at some point to Colgate.

That's kind of what I figured. And to make a giant assumption with regards to northern vs southern sorority size, probably part of the retention issue is that the women feel the pledge classes are too big.

I think it's interesting that both groups continued to function as underground sororities after their charters were withdrawn. According to an article I found, Colgate's suspension of the Theta chapter ended this past school year, so it looks like a new Theta chapter could return as soon as this fall. I am curious to see how sorority life will grow on this campus.
