Ok...where would you like to see Alpha Phi colonize?

I think that you are on track. Sororities were banned in 1944 and didn't start returning until the late 70s. A reason was to provide similar opportunities as the men's fraternities since they were never banned. Other factors that may contribute to the laidback attitude are 1) FR isn't until April (quarter system) and 2) the residence halls provide ample socialization outlets.

Oh ok, that makes sense. I didn't realize sororities were banned for a period of time. I have noticed these histories for the current/past NPC sororities there:

Kappa Alpha Theta - 1891-1944/1978
Kappa Kappa Gamma - 1892-1944/1978
Pi Beta Phi - 1893-1897/1905-1944/1978
Delta Delta Delta - 1909-1944/1984
Chi Omega - 1915-1944/1990
Alpha Epsilon Phi - 2007

Delta Gamma - 1887-1944/1979-1999
Alpha Phi - 1899-1944/1978-? (We did recolonize but were unsuccessful a 2nd time around)
Gamma Phi Beta - 1905-1944/1978-1992
Alpha Omicron Pi - 1910-1944
Sigma Kappa - 1915-1930
Alpha Chi Omega - 1979-1982
Sigma Delta Tau - 1983-?

Alpha Phi has been chosen to colonize at Georgia Tech! I am so excited for our new colonies: University of Alabama and Georgia Tech!!

Actually, Delta Gamma *did* recolonize, but they closed in the late 90s. One of my boyfriend's friends is a Stanford DG.

I'd love to see Alpha Phi back at Stanford...round out the Pac 10 presence.

Yup, they did! One of my good friend is a DG from Stanford!
But I would love to see us back at Stanford too

I am so excited, I can't express it!

[APhi4Ever]

I know, I am too!

[Forgetmenotivy]

I am beyond words!!! This is an exciting time for us.

[DUAPhi]

WOW!!! That's huge for the South and the ACC where we need to expand our presence - go Alpha Phi!!!!

[Jill1228]

WOOT!

I guess I should start singing "Georgia On My Mind"

Alpha Phi needs a presence in the SOUTH. Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida - it's rather embarasing that in 2008 that Alpha Phi is not in the SOUTH!

Embarassing? Hardly. I'd say Alpha Phi's upcoming colonizations at Georgia Tech and Alabama are wonderful accomplishments. Y'all are on fire in the South.

Keep in mind that campuses can't open up and add another sorority if there's no need for one.

Obviously we are interested in the south but things don't just happen overnight. We do have 2 colonies in the south right now (Georgia and Alabama).

[lauralaylin]

I'd say that fact that we got chosen at both Alabama and Georgia Tech shows strength and is a big accomplishment. I'm very excited about both of these colonies. And we also have quite a strong alumnae base in the south too.

This is so great! before long we will saturate the entire "bible belt". COming into the south is a HUGE HUGE accomlishment
