Hi LaneSig,

When do you plan to start a 22/23 colonization/re-colonization thread?

Alpha Phi is recolonizing our Delta Alpha chapter at East Carolina University this Fall.

Thanks!

This emerging chapter has closed, per their national website.

"At Southwestern Oklahoma State University, despite a great deal of effort from our volunteers, National Office staff, Grand Council members, and emerging chapter members, it was mutually agreed upon to separate by the local sorority of the university and Theta Phi Alpha".

Beloit has another strong local and Kappa Delta. AST is becoming a new local as of January 2022.

That new chapter doesn't sound like a fun place to be. Quite an angry bunch for a social sorority.

While I am certainly not a fan of local sororities (since they often decide that hazing is a good idea), I can see their appeal. I have often questioned the wisdom of a NPC group opening a chapter at a small school where the student body is primarily local and they intend to stay local. Small chapters are difficult because the shared costs are spread to so few members. If the students see no benefit from a nationwide network of alumnae, why pay the costs?
