Yes, allegedly the former TKE house (which AGR purchased) will be finished for Fall 2009, which with my understanding is when LXA will move back into their house (which still has the Pi Phi lozenge on the fireplace!). Word on the street was this spring is the time to gather men for the colony, and that core group will occupy the house on Deakin and rush from there this fall. The house is pretty nice, has a volleyball court and some private parking, as well as being close to the Greek and Greek overflow parking. I will be sad to not see AGR putting farm equipment on their lawn and their wood chopping philanthropy when I drive down that street, but I'm sure they will just do it on New Greek. The remodel of TKE will be impressive, and if it is anything like the recent SAE remodel it will look amazing.
Sig Ep is still a colony, and it has been a year since the last fraternity, Pike, closed. This campus is kind of odd, chapters don't close for RM reasons or have an incident, they just get smaller in membership and then resolve. We also don't have a Greek Adviser right now, which may make things interesting for a recolonization. I never heard of TKE wanting to come back in the near future, nor Phi Tau, just Pike and the rumblings of a fraternity I won't publicly name that has never been here wanting to come and colonize.
ETA: Though there are local alumni they may be of different ages, different chapters, and as a young alumna still on campus (wth changing my mind about grad school and getting a second degree, ugh) I may be able to offer a perspective they are unaware of. I'm just trying to be nice because I've seen fraternities close and the last colony, and it can be hard here at times.
