Yes...I'll be curious to see what happens with Alpha Phi in terms of housing.

Alpha Delta Pi will no longer be colonizing at Villanova.

First Gamma Phi was planning to colonize and now ADPi ended up not following through. In reading the article, it stated that they didn't get enough women to garner a charter class, yet VU still wants to add a chapter.

Villanova's enrollment numbers have been pretty flat over the last five years or so, and sorority recruitment numbers were down this Spring. If Gamma Phi tried and failed to charter, I'm surprised ADPi took the chance. It's a shame for the women who wanted to join.

There’s definitely something strange going on there. There are 8 NPC chapters at Villanova and one of them perennially struggles to make quota through formal recruitment. Obviously women aren’t clamoring to join this group (which is a shame), and at the same time two colonizations have been suspended in the past two years. No wonder some women feel like they have no options!
