hey ladies - i'm new to this site and just stumbled upon this thread...
My orginization is Kappa Phi Sorority..... we were founded at Sacred Heart University in 1993 and became incorporated in 2008. The university introduced National sororities to our greek life program in 2009 and greek life exploded - it went from approximately 25% membership to 80% membership in the span of two semesters. Nearly all of the other chapters chose to affiliate with an NPC/IFC org. We remain one of the two locals on campus (out of 10 orgs. total) with 17 members and an alumni base of over 300.
Recently our school has been attempting to force us to go national and colonize with an NPC. My sisters and I love our letters and what they represent dearly - so we are fighting a very difficult battle to stay local for as long as we can. We have just been brought back onto campus after a 5 month suspension after an
alleged "hazing" incident........and now we are really working with the SHU administration to get ourselves restablished and back on track with our pillanthropy work and recruitment. To do this we have looked at possibly expanding to other schools and forming more chapters....has anyone done this? Does anyone have any advice?
Here is our website :
