I'm a little confused about this posting, but can anyone provide information on any NPHC activity in the Salisbury/Princess Anne area? I'm making a reasonable guess that any NPHC undergrad chapter would cover both schools (Salisbury & UMES) if that is allowed, they are about 30 minutes apart and I'm not sure Salisbury would have a chapter of its own.

The only NPHC fraternity mentioned on the Salisbury University website is DST, but there is no information on a president, just to contact the director of student activities...

I can't find *anything* current on the UMES site that talks about any of the NPHC fraternities or sororities other than the fact that Homecoming will have get togethers for the NPHC groups as well as others and one seminar cosponsored by the Delta Sigma Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha (which is the grad chapter in Salisbury).

I'm still finding a reasonable number of people in the UMES administration who are alumni of NPHC fraternities though...

What happened?

If you google you can find out about one incident within the past 20 years, and hints that the administration is/was against the return of the inactive/suspended/whatever chapters. However it's clear there are other issues as well that non-members may not be privy to.

Yup, that one incident was significant, but even if that fraternity chapter isn't on the campus, that still doesn't mesh with all of them being gone...

I did find a link from the UMES to http://www.nphcatumes.org , but most of the links from there were either to the same place or broken, except the Qs, whose website http://www.piepsilonques.org/ does show a line as recent as 2008. Whether that line was known by the administration, who knows...

As mentioned, the Delta collegiate chapter is a city-wide chapter that encompasses UMES and Salisbury. Three members were suspended in 2006, but the chapter was not. (Public info from our natioinal website.) However, it is possible that UMES has disallowed the chapter's presence on its campus due to what ever caused the suspensions in 2006.
