If Sigma could colonize anywhere...

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!

What does everyone think of the post over on the Expansion thread in the Greek Life Forum of the following campuses being open for presentations?

Boise State University

University of Connecticut - Stamford

University of Tampa

University of Texas-El Paso

Do you think we have our hands full enough with colonizations already or will we perhaps make a stab at these campuses?



Any news on Florida State?

Our expansion team is ALWAYS exploring new opportunities, so you never know!

I'd like to see us take a look at UTEP and Tampa for sure (the others would be good too).

FSU presentations are the week of March 22nd, and the decision will be announced April 9th. So they are still in the early phases (the sororities are still sending in packets and doing exploratory visits).
