Where would you like to see your sorority/fraternity colonize/recolonize?

I'm pleased a lot of people want to see chapters re-colonize at UMass-Amherst! Our NIC is currently overseeing 15 fraternities but our PHC only has 7 chapters. It can be rough being greek in Amherst but I'd love to see some new/old organizations install!

I'd love to see us recolonize at:

Stanford University (Kappa)
Texas A&M University (Epsilon Omega deuteron)
University of Kansas (Gamma Delta)
Texas Christian University (Zeta Nu)

Colonize at:
UNC-Chapel Hill
Any SEC school

I wish DG would colonize more chapters in GA! Or SC for that matter. I think our closest chapter (from Delta Iota) is the Auburn chapter? It would be fun, from an alumna point of view, to have more collegians to stop in on. And volunteer with. Plus, I like the idea of keeping up with our Southern roots.

So, recolonizations I'd like to see:
Emory
Georgia State University
Clemson
University of South Carolina

And colonizations that would make me sooo happy (but probably aren't likely to happen anytime soon since the campuses aren't looking to expand):
University of South Carolina, Aiken
Augusta State University

So here is the question:
Where would you like to see your sorority/fraternity colonize/recolonize?

Personally, I would love to see Tri Delta back at the University of Rhode Island. My parents live 5 minutes down the road and it would be great to see them at that campus. Especially since there are so few chapters in New England. Tri Delta was removed there in the 80's, and I know a bunch of alum still live there (I mean lets face it, its rhode island, no one ever leaves ).

Thoughts?

I like Sig-Tau to recolonize at:

University of Akron
University of Iowa.

In a dream world, Ohio State would be the ideal place for a colony.

In an ideal world, I'd love to see all the original Otterbein sororities re-established...there are two that I can recall that are dormant. A girl I knew tried to re-establish one my sophomore year but it just never took off. There's also just not enough campus interest to sustain it. The current groups have been pretty steady in their membership size, and because we don't use Release Figures or Quota in the NPC sense, it doesn't really matter (in the recruitment sense, not the chapter impact sense) if a chapter takes quota or less than.

We'll get there, sis. We'll get there.

My joy would know no bounds if only our Gamma Chi chapter at Texas State were recolonized - and I would explode with happiness if it were to happen before my daughter graduated.

I would love it if our Purdue chapter recolonized- mainly because it is close to my house and my niece will be a freshman there next year. I agree that it would be cool if AOII colonized Columbia-- even if it really isn't our Alpha chapter.

And in a dream world, I would love to see AOII recolonized Ohio Northern. They closed while I was an active, and I was able to meet a couple of the sisters through the National Broadcasting Society, and they were so sweet. I remember being really sad when I heard their charter was being held in trust.

And I know this isn't my org, but-- I would love to see Phi Mu back at Ohio University. I know the numbers aren't there yet, but I had a good friend that was a member back in the day... (plus as of now they still own their house right on College Street in the middle of greek row)

[OhSeven]

I would love to see recolonization at...

University of Alabama (Alpha Omega)
Arizona State (Theta Omicron)
Stanford (Pi)
UCLA (Alpha Omicron)
UC Santa Barbara (Beta Chi)
USC (Theta Kappa)
Florida State (Omega)
UMiami (Beta Delta)
Indiana (Tau)
Louisiana State (Zeta Omega)
Ohio State (Chi)
Carnegie Mellon (Beta Iota)
Gettysburg (Gamma Nu)
Lafayette (Zeta Rho)
South Carolina (Beta Beta)
SMU (Sigma)

I am aware that I have high hopes, haha.

I would like to add ADPi at Wash U in St. Louis - I think it would be a first for us

I know the house is now the Honors college, but I thought we needed a different house anyway.

IMHO, that house is one of the bigger reasons our Ole Miss chapter closed in the first place! I'd also like to see ADPi recolonize at Ole Miss, LSU, Oregan State, and U of Colorado.

I'd like to see Phi Mu, KAO, and ZTA recolonize at Pitt, but there needs to be a major improvement of the greek system there first. I've met some older ladies from each, and they were seriously interesting women!

[JohnnyCash]

I would like to see our chapter at UMiami recolonize, since it'd be cool to have another chapter 9 miles down the road.

[Smile_Awhile]

I'd love to see Alpha Chi recolonize our Delta Rho (U of Arkansas) chapter, just so we'd have an Arkansas chapter again. I've had so many people give me weird looks when I say I'm an Alpha Chi. "Is that the same thing as Chi O?"

[moe.ron]

Buffalo State - recolonize my chapter darn it.
