As ComradesTrue mentions, Baylor is very traditional (I attended 2 years in the 80s). I would assume if more than 1 group came on they would use the SUB or dorms like they used to for recruitment and chapter meetings before expanding. Sounds like their chapter sizes are closing in on Ole Miss and Arkansas territory.

If memory serves me, BU had chapters of KD, Sigma Kappa and DG at one time. I wonder if any are planning to recolonize?

Is there any way they could build onto this building? I was hoping for a picture of it but didn't see one. Is there room near it to allow that?

Also, do they have anything resembling unofficial sorority houses off campus where sisters can live together? Or is this the sort of campus where you live on campus all 4 years? This whole concept of lodges at big Greek schools fascinates me.

Stacy Riddle was built with expansion in mind. I don't know if the plan was to build up or out, but I remember people saying that if we expanded, rooms would be created.

On the second comment, several sororities and fraternities (usually owned by an older alum or a current student's parents) have informal houses or blocks of houses where members decide to live together. I don't know how many of them house large numbers of members, but I'd wager the answer is not many. I lived in a house of four, and knew plenty of others in similar houses.

All they can do is wait for BU to decide to expand. At that time, they can submit packets for consideration which will be voted on by Panhellenic. Sometimes colleges will agree that a former chapter will have a first right of refusal, although in my personal experience, they will also often not honour their initial agreement. Not that I'm bitter . . .

I would also be VERY surprised if Sigma Kappa wanted on again this soon.
