That's awesome! I was mentioning how huge the PC #'s had been and with Alpha Gam deciding not to start a chapter, they needed a new house. Good luck in the fall!!

Where will they be housed?

Reading the "other site" (and again these are rumors.) they could be on Maple or Frisco.

If they build on Maple, they will have one square foot of space.

Yes...I'll be curious to see what happens with Alpha Phi in terms of housing.

Alpha Delta Pi will no longer be colonizing at Villanova.

First Gamma Phi was planning to colonize and now ADPi ended up not following through. In reading the article, it stated that they didn't get enough women to garner a charter class, yet VU still wants to add a chapter.

Villanova's enrollment numbers have been pretty flat over the last five years or so, and sorority recruitment numbers were down this Spring. If Gamma Phi tried and failed to charter, I'm surprised ADPi took the chance. It's a shame for the women who wanted to join.

I went and looked at the 2011/2012 Expansion thread when Arkansas opened and had presentations. The organizations that presented were Alpha Chi Omega, Phi Mu, Delta Gamma, Alpha Gamma Delta, and Alpha Phi. It wasn't stated at the time, but Alpha Chi Omega and Phi Mu expanded in Fall '12 and I am guessing that the others were asked if they would be interested to establish as the campus NPC needed.

I've heard of new chapters not happening in the past for certain reasons, but I've never heard of 2 sororities wanting to join campus so close together and cancelling the colony. It's weird.

Even with the reasons of overall school/sorority numbers decreasing, it is a bit strange.

During the 2014-15 school year, under Virginia Commonwealth University here on her popular GreekChat thread, irishpipes listed a KD 2014 colony, a Phi Sigma Sigma 2015 recolonization, a 15-16 GPhiB colony, and an ADPI TBA colony.


By the 2016-17 year irishpipes listed those four VCU colonies as TBA COLONIES.


Only Gamma Phi Beta eventually installed (in 2019).


Not sure which of the three non-installing groups actually tried a colony and failed, or if the three non-installs simply dropped their plans to do so.


And at some point since 2014, the Alpha Epsilon Phi chapter closed. So VCU still has the same number of chapters now as it did ten years ago.

This past weekend, Zeta Beta Tau (ZBT) at Michigan State University officially received their charter. Congratulations to the new Beta Epsilon Chapter.


Also, it was announced that ZBT will be returning to both University of Virginia (UVA) and University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill for Fall '24.


ZBT: Forging Leaders, Bettering the World!

Alpha Xi Delta was officially re-chartered today at the University of Georgia!

Happy for Alpha Xi! I know they were on campus previously. Do they still own a house or property?
