Community College Fraternity?

[ForeverRoses]

Vincennes University has Sigma Pi and one other NIC fraternity. They have recently started offering a limited number of 4-yr degrees, but the fraternities were there when it was exclusively a 2-year school.

Oh, and they have dorms so many of the students do live on campus.

To be truthful, it has happened and it really doesnt work.

The simple fact is that if there were this happening, it would and could be hard to transfer to a 4 Year college and be accepted. One would not have to be.

LXA voted it down in 2004 at Gen. Ass.

To be clear, though, Vincennes is a two-year university, not a community college. And it has granted baccalaureate degrees in select disciplines since prior to the founding of Sigma Pi there.

I may be remembering this wrong, but I seem to recall that the NIC made the decision not to restrict membership to those organizations that chartered only in four-year colleges because Sigma Pi, a founding member of the NIC, had its Alpha Chapter at Vincennes.

BTW, Pi Lambda Phi is the other national fraternity currently at Vincennes. All other Greek groups there are local, I think. And SFAIK, TKE and SigEp are the only two NIC fraternities that have chartered at community colleges, and I don't think either does so any more.
