Kappa Beta Gamma has been around since 1917, but there currently are only four active chapters. There have been more, but unfortunately those chapters are no longer active. We here at NMU will become the Lambda chapter March 23rd! There is also another colony in Iowa that is going through the chartering process right now. Our nationals is working hard to keep expanding!

oh yeah, our chapters are all pretty much Midwest... two in Wisconsin, Chicago, Detroit, us in Michigan, and the other colony in Iowa.

Gamma Alpha Omega Sorority is an "up and coming" organization. Founded at the Arizona State University campus in 1993, it now has 11 chapters and 3 Charters/Colonies throughout AZ, WA, WI, ID, TX, and OR. I'm also part of the Petitioning Group at Humboldt State University in northern CA. In 2 weeks we'll be going to the National Convention in Milwaukee to make our presentation to become a Charter/Colony, which will make us the first in CA. Wish us luck!

How about Ceres, sister org to Farmhouse? They don't have a national website.

hilbilymel · #7 04-09-2002, 02:14 AM

Thanks FuzzieAlum for mentioning Ceres.

I haven't been watching the board in quite a whille. We were founded in 1984 we currently have 8 active chapters and 4 inactive chapters I think. In my opinion we really need a national website. When we changed national presidents a few years ago we lost our website. I am an alum I have volunteered to work on it but the national president wants to beable to put stuff on it herself and I don't think she knows much about html and she has a very old computer so there is not room for the html editing programs.

What do y'all recomend how could we do this that would take away her fears about having someone else putting stuff on the web for her.

What are the benifits of a national website.

I'd think that giving her final approval of any page changes (i.e., sending her the page to approve via e-mail, she should be able to view an html page) might answer her concerns. Also, if there's any chance she can get a newer machine, Netscape Communicator is really easy to use for editing pages. (I'm sure there are others as well.)

Without a national site, it's hard in today's world to share information and gain recognition. That might be something that would change her mind, too. Good luck!

NU PHI PSI FRATERNITY, INC. BEING DOING BUSINESS SINCE 1988

Little_NU · #10 12-09-2010, 09:01 PM

First & foremost, thank you for this discussion topic. I'm so happy to see that up and coming organizations are gaining more recognition.

Nu Omega Psi Sorority was founded on September 9, 2007 in Fairmont, North Carolina. This is an independent black Greek-lettered org (BGLO) and social organization based on community service, and sisterhood. We currently have four active chapters, for now.

We also have a brother organization known as Nu Phi Psi Fraternity, Inc. They are a lot older than us, established on June 23, 1988 at Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio.

If girls are looking for info on Ceres, or any national sorority, they will trust a professional-looking national page more than a local chapter page. Not that there is anything wrong with the latter, of course, but a national page represents all the chapters, not just one. (Of course, for girls looking at the chapters on their campus, the local page is probably more important.) It's the first point of contact for information such as colonization/expansion policies, number of chapters, history, etc. - stuff potential colonizers want to know.

Phi Sigma Rho is a national social sorority for women in engineering and engineering technology. Our sisterhood is made up of women who are studying an area of engineering, but also actively take part in campus activities within the social Greek system. In addition to socials, the sisters of Phi Sigma Rho are involved in community service projects and philanthropies such as the Girl Scouts of America and the American Cancer Society.

Phi Sigma Rho was founded in 1984 at Purdue University and went national in 1988. Currently there are 11 active chapters, 4 chartered alumni organizations, and 1 colony of Phi Sigma Rho. At our next national convention we will be celebrating our 20th anniversary! Phi Sigma Rho Nationals

I can't believe I never posted info about SLU.

As posted on our website:

Historical Beginnings

Sigma Lambda Upsilon/ Señoritas Latinas Unidas Sorority, Incorporated exists to create a bridge between all women committed to seeking the political and social advancement of underrepresented populations. The organization was founded on December 1, 1987 at Binghamton University by Hermana Cynthia Santiago-Guzman, Hermana Adriana Zamora-Tirado, Hermana Carmen Ibeth Garcia-Quiñones and Hermana Carol Elizabeth Torres.* Through their efforts, they have created an organization that provides sisterhood and support, while also promoting academic achievement, service to the community and cultural enrichment. Their vision has created a voice for women in an academic setting.

The essence of Sigma Lambda Upsilon/ Señoritas Latinas Unidas Sorority, Inc. is epitomized by the diverse cultural backgrounds and customs that allow our Hermanas (sisters) to share each other's heritage. Over a decade since its existence, the impenetrable bond of sisterhood unites Hermanas of African, African-American, Argentinean, Belizian, Bolivian, Brazilian, Cape Verdean, Chicana, Chilean, Chinese, Colombian, Costa Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Ecuadorian, English, Filipina, French, German, Guatemalan, Haitian, Hmong, Honduran, Italian, Irish, Jamaican, Jewish, Korean, Mexican, Native American, Nevisian, Nicaraguan, Nigerian, Panamanian, Paraguayan, Peruvian, Polish, Puerto Rican, Romanian, Salvadorian, Spanish and Uruguayan backgrounds. Through mutual respect, love, courage and support for one another, we share the common goal of uniting and empowering all Hermana's. Our relentless commitment to each other is the reason why we consider our sisterhood lasting Hasta La Muerte!

Though Latina-based, the organization is made up of women from all cultures, creed, disabilities, political beliefs, sexual preference, etc.

Sigma Lambda Upsilon/ Señoritas Latinas Unidas Sorority, Inc. serves to bridge a* gap between the Latino community and the campuses we represent.

Well, convention has come and gone and I am happy to say that our WONDERFUL FAMILY / SISTERHOOD has grown! We now have 14 Chapters and 1 Charter Colony (us!). There's been some interest from other California Universities, but nothing concrete yet. I'll keep y'all posted!

Serenity, what campus are you at? PM me, I'd like to chat!

Here's a little bit about us:

National History:

Gamma Alpha Omega Sorority was the first Hispanic founded sorority on the campus of Arizona State University, in Tempe, Arizona. Founded on January 25, 1993 with a strong desire to serve the Hispanic community and a quest for higher learning by five determined collegiate young women Michelle Seanez, Amy Alvarez Patsy Guardado, Clara Lopez Michelle Mendoza known today as our Most Honorable Founding Madres. These visionary young women formed this community service based sorority in conjunction with their benevolent vision. Their focus was not only on social issues, as manytraditional sororities before them, but also as a dynamic and altruistic group of advanced women, to excel in school, motivate others, generate role models, and eventually yield considerable Hispanic community leaders.

Local History:

On October 2000, seven women came together to discuss the possibility of establishing a Latina based sorority on the HSU campus. At the time of their meeting, there was only one other Latino interest organization on campus. Noticing the lack of Latino representation, these women formed the Interest Group of Gamma Alpha Omega Sorority, Inc. and began meeting on a regular basis.

Our purpose is to promote and instill in every member of our sorority the values of Honesty, Integrity, Leadership, Scholarship, and Unity. These pillars have become the foundation of our organization and a symbol of devotion to our purpose. By encouraging these admirable characteristics, each member enriches her life with these lifelong attributes. We strive not only to be an asset to our community, but to also strengthen the bonds that are present within our sisterhood.

Congratulations on the new Chapter and colony NoShame_Gamma. I know how awesome it is to get a new chapter and the work that goes into it.

Serenity, thanks for posting your history. I know a lot of people have misconceptions about Multicultural and Latino Orgs. I wish we had a Latina sorority on our campus for us to socialize with, but there really aren't that many Latinos on campus (That I know of on-campus.)
