Schools that need to open for NPC expansion

[Titchou]

At Arizona State they already have several stacked but nothing is moving due to ASU's problematic housing....so bad that the house corp officers of all 12 groups are now working with a developer for their own high rise.

I know of at least one campus on the list that is expanding and has the group picked out already...maybe sometimes it happens without publicity? I'm not sure how that works.

Sometimes groups don't publicize where they are presenting, but I haven't heard of anyone keeping it under wraps once they are selected. They usually want all the publicity they can get at that point!

I only know that the group has been selected, I do not know for 100% if the group has accepted the invite--maybe that could be the hold up?

And the new building at ASU is currently designed for 14 groups and they have 12 on campus now.

I stand corrected. My usually solid sources evidently were misinformed.

Ahhhh I wish we would pursue LSU. Maybe someday.

My opinion, I think University of Georgia and Georgia Tech are ripe for expansion.

Snowflakemom, if the school on the list that you are referencing is Colgate, Theta left with an understanding that it could return at an appropriate time in the future. If it is UK, I believe that Sigma Kappa departed with an opportunity to return that it is exercising.

Re UGa and GT: housing, housing, housing .....

I don't think Georgia will open while the current Greek life director is there. And housing for sororities is such a problem. You really need to be on or very near Milledgeville for recruitment. Since the fraternities recruit individually, they can be more spread out. And they have been very creative with housing! One fraternity turned an apartment complex into a house, another turned an old restaurant into a house, a few are in university owned houses, and I believe Sigma Chi purchased an old building in downtown Athens to turn into a house.

I hope you mean Milledge, haha.

Ah!!! Damn auto correct on my phone! Totally meant Milledge.

On your Honorable Mention list, I would add Missouri State University. Three years ago (2010), the sororities at MSU were a range of 129-188, with a quota of 60ish. This year, 4 of the 7 orgs have 200+ members, 1 is close to 200, and the other two are making strides. Quota this year was in the 80s. My observation.

Keep an eye on Kent State University(OH). Their quota jumped to the 70s and Phi Mu had a very successful colonization.

BUMPING now that recruitment has commenced

Two other nominees to watch in Tennesee:
Rhodes

In the spirit of the season of Cinderella teams (you may not be thinking of them, but they merit watching):
- Coastal Carolina (no spikes or ramps, but steady growth)

-- Nicholls State
-- San Francisco State
-- Loyola -Chicago
