There are no locals at Adelphi, they were banned in 1992. I know there are a few locals at St. John's and Hofstra.

Greeek Life was banned in the mid 70's - mid 80's at all CUNYs that I know

The State University of New York system banned all non-locals (I think in the 1960's or 1970's.) I believe they thought it would give them more control over the groups which isn't really how things turned out. They allowed the national and regional groups to come back in the late '80's.

Actually they banned nationals in the mid-50's due to discrimination clauses in some of the nationals' bylaws. This is not to say all nationals there at that time had them, but some did, so rather than discriminate (har) they banned all of them.

I'm an alumni member of Alpha Kappa Phi Sorority (Agonian). This is a regional sorority thru the New York college system. In 1957 NYS put a ban on national fraternity/sorority organizations, so all these groups had to cut ties with their national affiliation. The ban was lifted in eth early 1980s. Many local/regional groups still thrive at these campuses all over NYS. Many of these regional or locals do have more than one chapter and usually hold conventions to talk about tradtions, history etc. Many of them have websites, ours is http://organizations.oneonta.edu/sorority/akphi/ which has links to our other chapters.

I'm at SUNY Cortland and am the President of the only local sorority here, Nu Sigma Chi we are 77 years old this past November

[TPG CHILLY]

Theta Phi Gamma Sorority Inc. at CUNY Baruch, CUNY John Jay, and CUNY Hunter.

Most Multi-Cultural Greek Org in the CUNY system!!

[klplovely]

KLP is the only local organization on campus, out of the three other sororities and three fraternities.We're smaller than the other organizations, but we enjoy being smaller and more of a close-knit family.

Greek Week is the main form of support for Marist Greeks, where we cheer for one another unless we are directly competing. In most cases, there are no sore losers and we all congradulate one another. We won GW 2006 and got 2nd place GW 2007, so if anything, with 20 active members , it shows that size really doesn't matter!

When individual organizations sponsor an event, all of Greek Life supports them. KLP and Zeta Psi organize a Blood Drive every semester, and Tri-Sigma organizes Relay for Life. At both of these events, all Greek organizations are represented.

Greeks do receive a lot of support, especially from faculty advisors. I still wish Marist Greeks had more traditional events, like Homecoming, for example.

I am in a local greek letter organization, Chi Theta Sigma Fraternity Inc
we are located in New york and are always looking to work with other local organizations, you can contact us on our email, chithetasigmainc@gmail.com

All of NYU's 14 fraternities are national, but 3 of the 10 sororities are local (including my own). All 3 locals, along with 3 national sororities, make up the Panhellenic Council, so from that perspective, there is a great deal of balance on our campus. Most of the local orgs have been at NYU longer than the national chapters.

How old is your local? NYU is DPhiE's Alpha (as in founding chapter not Alpha of NY) which was founded in 1917 although we were off campus for some years at some point as it it is not 90 years straight.

Who are the other two NPC groups, AEPhi and AST?

[Serena_TPhiB]

I was going to type ours, Theta Phi Beta, lol but I see my sister beat me to it like last semester! lol

But yeah, as far as sororities go on our campus it's us, Kappa Psi Delta and Alpha Phi Zeta as the locals and the nationals are DPhiE, AEPhi and AST. We'll also have have a new national this fall.
