I'm not AEPhi, but I was going to ASU and they were SAEPi. There were facebook groups that was called "We Quit Sigma" and in its discription said that they quit Sigma to become part of AEPhi. But I thought I read somewhere that this isn't the first time AEPhi has been at ASU, so its recolonizing there.

It is a recolonization but I don't think the chapter was there very recently. ASU was our Epsilon Zeta chapter found in 1958. I think they have to have been inactive for at least 10 years as they were not active when I pledged in 2001 and I hadn't heard any references to their recent closure around then. I am guessing that it has been closed long enough that its dates might be in the last Baird's if someone checked.

I am curious to hear what happened for them to end up dropping Sigma. Maybe I'll meet one of the colony members at convention so I can ask.

My NM manual, dated 1993, also indicates that Epsilon Zeta chapter was inactive at that time.

Not to worry... it's always great to see a recolonization.

The SDSU coloney is pretty small. We are only about 20 girls right now. I believe we are also recolonizing. It is hard because all the other sororities on campus have about 150 girls or more. We are the only ones without an offical house too. We are renting a regular house that Alpha Phi owns. We are looking for a house right now but it is hard. Especially since Delta Zeta is coming to our school now next fall and they already own a house (they are recolonizing too but kept their house and just rented it out). Some of the houses are also being torn down soon to build this mini mall thing and Sorority Row was cancelled. Anyone know of any organizations out there to help? We were joking about going on Extreme Makeover Home Edition.

AEPhi Colonizes on Three Campuses this Spring

National Council is pleased to announce that Alpha Epsilon Phi will be colonizing on three campuses this spring. We will be returning to Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and to the University of Connecticut in January. Later on in the semester, a new group will begin at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. Watch for more stories on our website or in Columns.

So exciting!!!

That is awesome news!! I had heard about the interest groups at UConn and Miami but the Virginia Commonwealth is news to me. It's really great how much we have been expanding lately!!
