Sororities at Mississippi State

KKG, ADPi, and Alpha Chi left campus. We were told that AOII had several events and didn't have enough women who qualified to charter their colony.

Is there any information on why they left though? And why Kappa's plans to recolonize in 2016 fell through?

I used to be assistant Greek advisor there but I don't feel comfortable sharing that.

Yes this is true from what I remember. I was chapter adviser at the time at Ole Miss. I also think the only house available was the old AGD house and I think it needed more renovations then it was worth (at that time). I think it was a wise call by our staff, executive board, and colonization teams at that time to take a step back. I feel certain if MSU's panhellenic opens for extension again, AOII will take a long and hard look at MSU again.

As far as history of Greek life there, I would look in your library archives at the yearbooks. It looks like MSU has them digitized like Ole Miss so they are online! The yearbooks can reveal lots! My husband is a State grad and I am pretty sure AGD was still on campus in the late 1990s when he was there.

Also, I also have this memory that we didn't have that many local alumnae in the Starkville/Columbus/Triangle Area back then....just something random I remember. And as you know, it takes lots of alumnae to support a new and growing chapter as advisers. I would think we probably have more now but I haven't looked at our numbers in the State of MS of alumnae in a long long time!
