Penn State - Today (9-8-15) is Bid Day!

It's large, especially in number of chapters (18 NPC + 3 "associate" chapters, 47 IFC chapters) , but not in the percent of people who are go Greek (<20% of the 38K students).

Two sorority chapters were suspended in recent years - TriDelt and ChiO - but other than those two, Penn State Panhel has expressed the desire to see ALL the NPC sororities on campus. They extended an invitation to AGD, but AGD was too busy with other installations/reinstallations. I imagine TriDelt and ChiO will be invited back in the not-too-distant future.

The suspensions and re-in-statements of the fraternities is too tough to track

One of the very first sorority women I knew our next door neighbor, who had been a Tri-Delta at PSU. She almost always had her Tridents on the coffee table, which was one of the best ways of recruiting subliminally that I ever saw. Well, that and having my mother constantly reminding me that my grandmother was a Kappa!

I only found out a few years ago that two of my great-aunts were members of the local which became Theta at PSU.

Also, isn't there a sub-rose Tri Delta chapter?

I didn't realize AGD had been invited to return and had to decline. Pennsylvania has so many colleges with Greek Life that I actually think every NPC sorority would be successful in colonizing or recolonizing. Are there enough equivalent dorm floors that the sororities use for every chapter that wants one?
