If Sigma could colonize anywhere...

I would love to see Sigma colonize at Valdosta State University! Being a transplant to Georgia (originally from SC, where Sigma has 4 chapters), everyone always looks at me strange when I say which sorority I was a member of. It's kinda like...If they don't have it at UGA, no one knows about it ;-)

It would be nice to feel some more Sigma love here in the Peach state!

After just reading today that Phi Mu took 252 new members in their first recruitment at the University of South Carolina. Too bad we couldn't have an opportunity like that. With 4 Sigma chapters already in that state.

Florida State is open for expansion. I believe the housing corporation still owns the house.

ETA: Rho was chartered in 2/2/1920 and remained open until 1990. In 1992, Rho was redeveloped and remained open until 1999.

AWESOME! Fingers crossed!! It would be great to not only recolonize, but to have a chapter at a huge university!

Agree. Rho chapter probably has a lot of history.
Many years ago I remember at one of our conventions meeting an awesome lady from there. I believe her name was Ida.

We are presenting at University of Michigan-Flint!

I do not know which other groups will be presenting.

There are a few issues that I think are going to hurt our success in reopening this chapter. We have actually recolonized Rho chapter 5 times. It is going to be difficult to prove to the Extension Committee how we will be successful for a 6th time without closing again (not to mention, we didn't necessarily leave on good terms with the University...). Also, Sigma Delta Tau is currently residing in the old Tri Sigma house, with no plans for alternate housing. I don't think the institution is so keen on having to displace one chapter just to bring another on.

So, I'm wary. Still keeping my fingers crossed! I'm hoping I'm wrong!
