Delta Delta Delta's newest chapter is at Loyola-Marymount in California as of 2006.

No wonder we've created a paid position that will help with extension stuff....

DeltAlum congratulations to The Delts on expansion!

Miami of Ohio suprises me as LXA just went back to campus.

Hear ASU is tough, but we pulled the Charter for the Old R M problem.

Expansion is still good for all of us!

FYI, TKE just got voted to re-charter at My Alma Mater, Pittsburg State Un., Ks.

Now makes 7 Fraternities and still only 3 Sororities!

So now I'm going crazy waiting to hear about three G Phi B presentations - I'm running out of fingers to cross for good luck! Way to go, Gamma Phi expansion team!
Actually, way to go all NPC expansion teams - looks like they are all doing great!

I think AEPhi is planning on going all the way through formal recruitment, where as Alpha Phi will only participate in Round1 (if at all). So I think it will work out best for everyone.

When the expansion process started in the Fall 2006 to bring a group from "scratch" to campus it was always known that AEPhi was starting in January '07. I think we can both work together to expand the system!

Hi! I am a member of the new AEPhi colony at UCONN. We are at 50 right now, and are very excited to be participating in formal recruitment next semester!

Case Western Reserve University votes to allow a 5th NPC sorority.

http://observer.case.edu/Archives/Vo...24/Story_1668/

NPC groups currently at Case:

Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Phi
Delta Gamma
Phi Mu

I do not know if there are any other NPC groups who have ever been at that campus. (I know that Alpha Gamma Delta has never chartered a chapter there, but don't have the info for other orgs.)

From the article:

However, both Delta Gamma and Alpha Chi Omega voted against the decision, citing current problems with sorority colonies on campus still unrecognized by the Panhellenic Council.

What?

I suspect that they are referring to local and/or regional sororities that haven't been recognized - not that there are NPC colonies on campus being unrecognized.

Here's the Greek Life link for sororities at Case, it lists 6 groups total - the 4 NPC groups, a national engineering sorority, and a local group. (I can't tell for sure from the link whether the 2 non-NPC groups are part of Panhellenic Council or not.)

I did a quick google search and found that Omega Tau Zeta has a colony at Case Western. Omega Tau Zeta is an Asian-interest sorority however, so I am not sure if that is what they are taling about. Also, Case has one local and an engineering-specific sorority and both of those are well under total of 50.

What I also found quite interesting is that the two non NPC chapters were not only able to do so, but voted for NPC expansion. I'm guessing that they are full members of the PC. In any case, I'm just kind of surprised that non NPC chapters are allowed to vote on NPC expansion. Not that it is a bad thing at all. Just never heard of it.

Follow up question. Would the two non NPC chapters also get to vote on which NPC is invited to colonize?

It looks like the two non NPCs are members of PC.

From the article.

"Panhel Exec Board along with the Greek Life Office investigated the numbers and the trends, which all indicated that Case is not only ready, but also in need of a new sorority," said Lia Majid, president of Phi Sigma Rho. "From there, Panhel Exec proposed the idea to the individual chapters that we expand. Then, at our Panhel meeting on Tuesday, we voted."

[quote=DeltAlum;1428505][quote=banditone;1427814]I like you delts ... One of my best friends' dads was a delt. And he was SOOO awesome.

Thanks for the kind words.

I would just comment that unless your friends dad has passed on to the Chapter Eternal, he is still a Delt.

He has passed to chapter eternal. Miss that old guy

FuzzieAlum where are you?

At first thought I thought this was the local going national, however that doesn't appear to be the case.

I wouldn't think the Asian interest group would be the reason for the negative votes because I didn't think they would have to be at total to keep going - same w/ Phi Sigma Rho and Sigma Psi (the local). I'm sure they want members, but it's not like they're going to get reprimanded by their HQ for not being at total because their kind of recruitment is different.

It almost sounded the way they put it, like 2 of the current NPC sororities are in a rebuilding/colony stage and that's why they didn't want a new group to come on.
