Ok...where would you like to see Alpha Phi colonize?

[Erik P Conard]

The Brown-Mackie outfit is a private business school with several
locations, like now in Denver. They are a glorified shopping mall
type school, no real campus, and certainly not a "juco" like the
twenty six community colleges we have in Kansas. I do not know
much about them other than they have been around a long, long
time and have little stature. There have been a great number of
business colleges over the years in Kansas; most have closed and
the community colleges, cheaper, have filled that void.
Salina had a normal school about 1900. It was, at one time, the
largest 'college' in Kansas. About 1910 or so it burned down. The
Marymount College was a vain attempt by the catholics to put in
a school with a basketball team. They were better at basketball
than they were with education and they folded several years ago
with an unimpressive history.
Now, please do not be too tough on Hays. The sororities may be
well-established in your mind, but they certainly have not gained
a lot of following. Alpha Gam, Tri Sigma, Sigma Kappa and maybe
DZ. Alpha Sig inactive. Of the men's, TKE died and now back, SAE
is new, Sigma Chi...make up active men's, and Sig Ep, Delta Sig,
AKL, Phi Sig, Sig Tau, all dead. In the past 40 years TKE and Sig
Ep were largest but up and down, size-wise. Ratty housing.
Hardly a stable campus, as you intimate and likely none of the sororities firm compared to Emporia's Chi O, A Sig & Tri Sigma.
Finally, I am not trying to coerce Alpha Phi to go anywhere they
do not want. I was simply trying to impart information and your
extension plans are your business. I do wish you well!

Amen Sister! That is probablly the ONE thing that I truly miss from living in KS ... Sonic and those crazy good cherry limeades! Holy Cow! Braums was great too. The only other thing I can think of that I remember with fondness is the sound of the secadas in the summertime. Some people think they sound creepy. I think they sound like summer.

Just wondering, where is Alpha Phi colonizing this year? I had some sisters ask and I couldn't remember.

Thanks!

University of San Francisco (not UCSF but the Jesuit undergrad school) is considering expansion and alums are very interested in pursuing. I think there is a DZ chapter but I'm not sure about other NPC at that school.

*any school in Kentucky....namely Georgetown College

Why "namely Georgetown College"? Do you have a connection to GC?
Just wondering.

I don't think that GC will be expanding in the near future because AGD was just installed in 1999 and we were the first group in 30 years to join the campus. But I would love to hear why Georgetown College was pointed out so! Thanks!

Oh, and I had to google for the juco I was trying to remember. I *think* it was Brown Mackie in Salina.

Are you thinking of Johnson County Community College? It is called JUCO and it has extensions all over the place. It has tripled in size in the time I have lived here in Kansas. It is extremely common now for graduates to do the requisite courses through there and then transfer to other schools. Pittsburgh,Emporia,KU and KState,Baker,and Wichita State all have extension programs in Johnson County.

When I went to our Regional Conference (Southeast!!) in February, I was so sad to learn about UNCW.

I want to see us grow in the South! Even if its only in NC.....does anyone know what opportunities we have available to us right now other than Oklahoma?

thank you, that means a lot

the greek system at uncw has gone down the tubes in recent months. fraternities are being kicked off left and right......i would talk about it, but i'm not too fond of the current greek advisor there and i'd probably end up saying something very harsh (but true)

My dear, it is so wise to be discreet ... but if you have something not nice to say, could you just PM me? (just kidding)

[a CA in CA]

You're such an instigator

[aphibeach]

oh i am not afraid to tell anyone how the school f-ed us over......and how other fraternities and sororities have since gotten in trouble for "problems" and didn't receive the kind of treatment we did

I'd like to see a chapter at a school in Charlotte. We are considering moving to NC, and while we'd prefer to live in Cary or Apex, right in between Raleigh and Durham, my husband may be able to get a job more easily in Charlotte. I can't imagine moving to a city with no collegiate chapter, I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

charlotte greek-wise, is pretty small.....i doubt they would ask for another sorority on that campus. their greek system is smaller than uncw's and ours was way small

I'd love to see APhi back at McMaster so we can hang out with them since they're pretty close by! I'd also love for NYU to have an Alpha Phi chapter (although I'm not sure how realistic that would be) because I want to go there for grad school.

[Axid angel]

i'd love to have a 6th npc chapter at unlv, but i don't know if that will ever happen. there is already a lot of competition between just the npc chapters and for some reason the number of pnm going through recruitment is steadily declining.

There are several places in Missouri that I'd like to see APhi's colonize (of course, I'm from Mo, so I'm biased...). I think that a chapter at Missouri State U. would get Alpha Phi some more attention in Mo because its getting to be almost as big a campus as Mizzou. I know when I graduated HS (only about 3 years ago), it seemed like 1/3 of my class went to Mizzou, 1/3 to MSU, and the other third went everywhere else. And I went to a big hs!
I'd also like to see Phi's at St. Louis U, although I don't know if they're greeklife can accommodate another chapter.
