San Diego State U -- Delta Zeta Will Return

[LaneSig]

Congratulations. I did not realize that SDSU was open for expansion. Or do NPC rules allow for a campus to contact a sorority that has previously been on campus and invite them back?

Don't quote me on this, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that sororities previously on campus are given invitations to re-colonize before new sororities can come on? Someone with the Green Book can answer your question more accurately, I'm sure.

I think it would also depend on the campus and the circumstances in which the chapter closed. I've also heard of instances where chapters have agreements with the campus to come back after a specified amount of time.

Did DZ close before or after ADPi did at SDSU? I know SK closed earlier this year.

It is a courtesy to ask a group that's been there before back, but not required and certainly not done all the time. They may have had an agreement to come back in X number of years if campus conditions warranted it.

Last year was a record year at SDSU, 750 women went through recruitment and quota was 68 or 69. A couple of the houses had pledge classes of 72. I'm glad to see an additional house there!

Beta Lambda of Gamma Phi Beta- Go AZTECS!!

And I'm so happy that the late unpleasantness hasn't hurt DZ in expansion!

Hopefully it doens't hurt them, but I think we will have to wait and see. SDSU no doubt chose Delta Zeta to colonize before the "unpleasantness" surfaced in the media. It may or may not hurt them. Since there will be national officers there, some smart PNMs might start asking questions.

Delta Zeta is really excited about the recolonization and we've done very well in recruitment at other campuses thus far.

How did I not notice or realize that you are a Beta Lambda?!?!?!?!

I'm the SD Alumnae MVP, on Beta Lambda House Corp Board and am Beta Lambda's new university Faculty-Staff Adviser! LOL!!! If you're a live-in, be sure to pop by the HCB meeting this Wednesday evening to say hello!

How nice to read such glowing letters regarding a returning chapter from the Gamma Phi Betas'. I hope you all did well. If anyone hears about how UCB did, I would appreciate an answer. Bomba

Thank you, recruitment is still in progress and we have another record number of women participating. This should help DZ come up with a great founding group!

As for Gamma Phi, I spoke with the SDSU chapter president at our House Corporation Board meeting last week and she told me about how glad the chapter is that DZ is coming back on campus. I bet the other sororities feel the same!

The opening was announced in early 2005-2006. I don't recall the exact number. Sometimes when a group is invited to colonize they can work out a timeline that is a bit delayed.
