Sorry about that. Please check your PM.

Trying (along with ThetaPrincess24) to get us back on topic...

Where would I like to see us colonize? Hmmm...

How about a campus in the University of Hawai'i system? Manoa (near Waikiki) is the largest and oldest campus in the UH system so I guess that would be my pick. According to a UH Manoa website AGD has a chapter but that seems to be the only NPC group. There is 1 local sorority. As for IFC, there is TKE and KappaSig. Plus 1 local fraternity.

Maybe their Greek system is ripe for expansion?

Not that it should be the only reason, but wouldn't it be nice for our ELCs, Grand Council and District officers to do chapter visits in Hawai'i? It would be the most coveted chapter visit! :-) And they would probably be in District VII (where I am) so it's possible that DLC might be in Hawai'i at some point.

Besides location, I mention Hawai'i for a couple personal reasons. I was born in Honolulu (I'm a Navy Junior), but only lived there 2 years. I have been back a couple times and it is so wonderful. Also one of my dearest 'mature' Theta alum friends was a President of the Honolulu Alumnae Club back in the late 60s or early 70s. I am sure she would be tickled pink to see Theta colonize in Hawai'i.

While I'm at it, why don't we colonize in Alaska too? TriSigma was the first NPC group in Alaska in 1993 (not that long ago!) at UA Fairbanks. And according to the school's website it is the only NPC sorority there. TriSig and another NPC, Alpha Sigma Alpha, have chapters at UA Anchorage and I believe Phi Sigma Sigma does too.

Now you have it...my quasi-fantasy votes for Hawai'i and Alaska!

This is a fun topic ThetaPrincess24! Thanks!

I am the ABC for the Beta Epsilon chapter at Oregon State and would love to see the Alpha Xi chapter at University of Oregon, (where I was initiated), recolonize. U of O has experienced increased numbers in recruitment and are now getting pledge classes between 30-35 (in 1997 when Alpha Xi closed, average pledge class size was 17.)
Alpha XI had a rich history at Oregon 80+ years before closing its doors in 1997, its been 10 years, its time for a comeback!

Has the U of Oregon recently added any NPC sororities?

[MissLadyMoTheta]

Not yet!! I wish!! Tridelt and Sigma Kappa left sometime between 1998 and 2000. Its time for a return for sure!!!! Its sad to see the houses on greek row turn into co-ops.
(FYI Theta was at U of O for 87 years!!! SO much history!)

sorry to crash, but Theta was just invited to install a new chapter at James Madison U.! Your newest chapter will be starting up this coming fall
