Sigma Chi Returns to GWU
January 27, 2006

EVANSTON, Ill. – On Feb. 13, Sigma Chi Fraternity will officially begin recruiting men from George Washington University. With the addition of Sigma Chi, the GWU campus will be home to 13 fraternities.

“Expansion is good for the entire Greek system. It gets the fraternities and sororities thinking about their values and what is really important to them,” said Adam Peterson, the Sigma Chi Headquarters representative who will be leading the GWU expansion effort. “I am really excited for the young men who will have this opportunity to start something new.”

The recruitment effort will focus on one-on-one communication, stressing life-long friendships and the unique leadership opportunities available to members of Sigma Chi. In addition, Sigma Chi will host larger informational events, beginning with a presentation to the campus on Feb. 16. Informational tables will also be set up at the Marvin Center on Feb. 9 and 10 from 10 a.m to 2 p.m.

I thought people might be interested to know that GWU in DC has opened to expansion. Interested organizations have all submitted their packets and the announcement of who is being invited to present should be made early next week.

For the curious... the campus has eight sororities, with total at 85 (I think) and they last opened for expansion in either 2001 or 2002, when Alpha Phi came to the campus.

Current sororities:
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Epsilon Phi
Alpha Phi
Delta Gamma
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Phi Sigma Sigma
Sigma Delta Tau
Sigma Kappa

This post should accurately read "NPC sororities" not just "sororities". There are four (4) NPHC sororities at GWU.

Sorry to nitpick but after reading the crap in the Pikes @ Howard thread http://gwired.gwu.edu/sac/greek/governingcouncils/nphc/

My cousin was in MMT's pledge class at GW many, many years ago. She still has her pledge album and the pictures are so adorable!
We had a song about MMT that we sang at Penn State. I don't know why.

I believe the decision should be announced at some point in March.
