Sorority Expansion Opportunity at Texas Christian

Panhellenic at Texas Christian U. ("TCU") has voted (9-1) for expansion. The student paper's November 9 '06 issue has an article giving an overview of the basics of the usual NPC expansion process and some indications of a possible timeline:

I'm right here in town and I did not know this!! I wonder if Alpha Gam or Alpha Phi might re-colonize. I'm pretty sure they both had a TCU chapter at one time.

I think Kappa Delta also had a chapter there.

The University of Maryland, College Park is considering the possibility of extension. I am on the newly formed extension exploration committee. The Panhellenic President says that the delegates will probably be able to vote on whether we will open for extension by March.

For the record (because it's been buggin' me)...

Expansion: When a university or college decides to invite a new sorority or fraternity on campus.

Extension: When a GLO decides to establish a chapter on a campus.

I honestly didn't know the difference - thanks!


As for Siggy_lxvi's "question": different GLOs and different campuses insist on a certain level of interest prior to allowing a colony to be initiated members. Whichever is the larger number is what the colony needs to proceed.

Actually, I see the term "expansion" used by the men's groups and "extension" used more by the women's groups.

For example, on Pi Kappa Alpha's website they list "Recent Expansions"

and on the SAE website:

UT-San Antonio is open for expansion and has selected 4 sororities to present:

Gamma Phi Beta (YAY us!)
Tri-Sigma
Alpha Gamma Delta
Zeta Tau Alpha

Presentations are occuring this semester (we present March 22, not sure about the others). They want to colonize one chapter in fall 2007 and one in fall 2009. Current chapters:
Alpha Omicron Pi
Alpha Sigma Alpha
Phi Mu
Sigma Kappa
Sigma Lambda Alpha (not NPC, but apparently in the PHC)
