All the Sigma Kappa Chapters Ever

[IndianaSigKap]

The colonization activities will take place at the end of the upcoming week and next week. This is the schedule that was sent out to area alumnae. Our chapter has a social page and one of the Indy area alumnae posted it to our page. We are wishing them luck! However since ZTA just colonized at IUPUI last year, some of us are head scratching a little wondering if it might be a little too soon.


Date Time Location Event
Friday, September 30 6:00-7:30 pm Campus Center 450 A/B Info & Philanthropy Night
Saturday, October 1 5:00-6:30 pm Campus Center 450 Sisterhood Night
Sunday, October 2 11:00 am-1:00 pm Campus Center 450 Preference
Sunday, October 2 4:00-8:00 pm Campus Center 450 Formal Pledging & Bid Day

Was their colonization not as successful as anticipated?

It's not that. I'm guessing that b/c a chapter just colonized, most sororities would want to wait a few years for that chapter to become established before taking a risk and introducing their GLO to the campus.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, definitely makes sense. Wouldn't that be a lack of oversight on IUPUI's part?

Probably though they could justify it by saying that b/c numbers have been great over the past few years and all chapters are at total consistently, then it's a perfect time to add one or 2 new GLO's to a school.

It will be interesting and I hope for the best for both chapters.

ETA: It has been done successfully at some schools but each school, chapter and GLO is different. For example, at the University of California, Irvine, Alpha Epsilon Phi colonized successfully and one year later, Sigma Kappa colonized and are thriving as well so it can be done. It just depends on campus atmosphere and the support given to the chapters.
