Wow, in one day our current colonies and future colonization's were updated.
University of Alabama: Chapter placed on Associate Chapter status. This was a huge mistake to colonize here, we do not have housing. We've struggled from day 1 with membership.
South Dakota School of Mines: Colonized this semester.
SUNY-Oswego: Colony closed due to lack of interest.
Additional Upcoming Expansions
Shenandoah University: Fall 2025
University of Oregon: Spring 2026

Sorry about Alabama. In the "need to colonize" thread I had mentioned housing as a huge hurdle, even if the interest and numbers are there.

Another Theta Tau chapter affiliated with us: Here's the story per their PKT website at SD Mines FSL
"The brothers of Theta Tau Omega Chapter at SDSMT have been pressured year after year to turn into a co-ed organization. The brothers who joined this house joined for the fact that it is an all male chapter the desirable attributes that come with it. We hope to change our letters from Theta Tau to Phi Kappa Tau while keeping all of the same values we have held since 1932. After long hours of debate and discussion the brothers of the Omega Chapter have made the unanimous decision to quit Theta Tau and go forth with joining a new nationals organization Phi Kappa Tau. This organization has goals set around helping students learn to grow and become leaders. They are extremely supportive compared to Theta Tau's national organization and open the opportunity for more scholarship and training opportunities. We aim to hold true to the values that Theta Tau also set for us by continuing to have professional development events, community service events, and a holding a presence on campus. We will continue to be located at the same house at 109 Kansas City St and bring with us all 44 members we currently have".

Who is pressuring them to go coed? The school or their national organization?

National. Theta Tau accepted women membership in 1977. Some chapters still refuse to accept woman. There's been mounting pressure from their HQ for those all-male chapters to go co-ed. I was told there are a few other chapters interested in joining us.

Kappa Delta is reopening our chapter at Delaware in spring 2026. The source I have is a Facebook post--will link to our national website once it's posted there.

Maybe a little OT, but since there is some discussion of housing in this thread, does anyone know the status of the SK house at Alabama?

I'm not sure. I just know (via a crimson white article) it was supposed to be done this fall, but got delayed in 2024.

Nothing is currently listed on the Building Bama website ( https://buildingbama.ua.edu/) and in early 2024, plans for the house were listed.

"According to the Wall Street Journal, Alabama’s Sigma Kappa chapter paused its plans for a new, roughly $24.7 million house, according to university documents. The price tag would have set a record for the nation, but a university spokesperson said the project was paused because it had become too pricey due to inflation."
