PSU recruitment sign-up breaks records

[LionTamer]

There are 18 sororities doing formal Fall recruitment this year, all NPC. Delta Phi Epsilon is NOT one of them, but Phi Sigma Sigma is (those are the two who are new, ALS463). I think DPhiE will be holding informal recruitment later.

Alpha Gamma Delta left campus in the 1980s (numbers). Chi Omega Tri Delt, and Tri Sig left recently (Tri Delt for hazing allegations, Chi O for photos that implied both drug use AND racism, and Tri Sig for numbers). Not sure if the whole "Trilogy" thing is still a thing. My friends with daughters in Panhel sororities don't know much about them.

Alpha Epsilon Phi has been at PSU on and off, but left for the last time in the early 70s.

Alpha Sigma Tau and Theta Alpha Phi are active at Behrend/Erie campus, and AST is also on the Altoona branch campus. Not sure if they were ever active at the main campus, or ever will be.

Theta Phi Alpha

As far as I know, we're the only NPC to have never been at Penn State's main campus.

I'm really curious as to why we've never had a chapter there, and why we never even seem to make an attempt to present. A quarter of our chapters are in PA (2 of which, as you said, are on other Penn State campuses), we have a large alumnae presence in the state, and PSU is a huge school without huge housing costs. Of course there's more that goes into an expansion decision than that, but.. but.. it's seriously driving me crazy. I want to know why!

Tri Delta is now Trilogy at PSU? I was wondering how that went down. I knew a woman whose daughter went to PSU who was a major Delta Delta Delta!

I'm happy to see how many PNMs have signed up!

Tri Delta is no longer in the PSU campus. To say Tri Delta is now another organization on the PSU campus is false. Whether or not members/former members of Tri Delta decided to form their own organization on PSU campus is their own deal, but it is in no way associated with Tri Delta.

I am really interested in knowing if Penn State can continue with doing recruitment the way that it always has - without resumes that include pictures, applications submitted a day or two ahead of recruitment, largely without recs (I sure hope so, or I wouldn't have joined) and over 8 days of back-to-back-to-back-to-back parties.

Comments? Thoughts?

I kind of wondered the same thing - it's really getting to be as big as a SEC recruitment at PSU. The whole recs deal just isn't a part of the culture up here; it will be interesting to see if that changes as recruitment gets more competitive!
