Okay, now I am throughly confused.

When last I asked about Theta Tau, I was told TX State and Sigma Chi were in discussion about rechartering.

Then a TX State Chi O said they had received their charter again. But checking on the TX State site and then double checking here made it clear that they had not.

NOW - Sigma Chi is not listed on the IFC webpage at TX State BUT they are listed on the Student Org. page with a contact.

Does anyone know the scoop???

The last I heard was the talks, also. I saw a post that said they were chartering/recolonizing, but was waiting until I could get more info to verify. I have not heard, seen, or read of any Sigma Chi recolonizing activities at TSU (I know, you hate TSU, so SWT . The only student org I could find was Sigma Chi Sigma, a pharmacy club.

ETA: I just read the original post. Sigma Chi has definately not re-chartered the TSU chapter last semester.

Yep - the link is gone. I'm still confused. And Yes it is TEXAS STATE!!!! (Not TSU - that is either Texas Southern U, or Tarleton State.)

eta - and Tarleton State has a Sigma Chi chapter already!

Hello All,

Just wanted to let you know we now have a colony at Princeton University in New Jersey. This is a re-charter of the Sigma Chapter, which has not been in existence since 1882.

In Hoc,

Nick

Alright! New Sigma Chi colonies:

Gettysburg College - Sigma Chi Theta

Santa Clara University - Sigma Chi Upsilon

University of New Haven - Sigma Chi Lambda

Texas State University - Phi Sigma Chi (This will make SWTXBelle very happy!)

University of Texas - Tau Sigma Chi

University of Maryland - Sigma Chi Alpha

University of California/Merced - Alpha Sigma Chi Omega

Princeton University - Sigma Chi Sigma


We still have the 2 current colonies at the University of New Mexico and University of Arizona.

Very happy to see us returning to Gettysburg, Texas, Maryland, Texas State, and Princeton.

I'm VERY happy -about both TX State and UT! Here's hoping you get some great pledges for your colonies!

SWEET! Especially with the re-colorizations. And for what it is worth, UC Merced is the newest of the UC campuses and is building the Greek System from scratch.

Not all of 'em have one, but here are a few website links.

Gettysburg College - Sigma Chi Theta

Texas State University - Phi Sigma Chi

University of Maryland - Sigma Chi Alpha

So - any idea when Sigma Chi will begin the rechartering process at Texas State? My daughter is a freshman, and has several male friends who are interested in fraternity rush. I'd love to be able to let them know that there is a possible alternative should they not find what they are looking for this semester . . .

According to this link they are on and took 4 this past Spring.

4? Are they participating in recruitment? I'll tell my daughter, and I guess the guys can take it from there.

I don't know this for a fact: The chapter may have been very selective in its first pledge class and then are trying to get a bigger pledge class this fall. As you know, a colony is a lot of work. I know when I was part of our colony, we would get guys who wanted to be Sigma Chi's, but dropped out once they saw the work a colony entailed. They need 35 to charter (I believe that's still the magic number). So, hopefully, they can get a pledge class of 11+ who are quality and get it rolling.

HQ has announced that we will be expanding to the campus of Florida Gulf Coast University in Naples, FL. This campus will be colonized in the spring.

The IFC currently consists of Kappa Alpha, Pi Kappa Alpha, and Sigma Phi Epsilon.

According to HQ's website, University of Michigan has pledged 38 men for our re-colonization. We left the Michigan campus in 2003.

Found a link for Tau Sigma Chi, the colony at Texas.

For whatever reason, it will not let me link the site. I will try later. Sorry.

The website is at texassigmachi.org
