I would love to see more AEPhi chapters beyond the Northeast.

I guess I should answer my own poll question.

I wish we could recolonize ALL our old chapters that are dormant...but I'd particularly like to see ASA back at Indiana, Illinois, Syracuse, UCLA, Miami of Ohio and all the PA and NY state schools where we used to be.

I'd like to see new chapters at Pitt or Carnegie Mellon (nice to have sisters right down the road

), the Pacific Northwest, and Canada.

Even though there are a good amount of KD chapters in the midwest/southern regions around us, I would love to see another KD chapter in WV! Right now, we're the only ones.

And of course, more chapters out West!

I'd love to see our chapters at SDSU, UCLA, USC, and Berkeley re-colonized.

33Girl...feel free to visit the LXA forum anytime!

Personally, I always wanted to see LXA back at UNC (Northern Colorado)....it only took 11 years to make that happen - they are starting their fifth semester back on campus now!

Otherwise, LXA - I'd love to see CSU come back (some SERIOUS changes to the greek system and the campus perception of greeks has to change first), and Colorado College (CC closed in 1942 during WWII and never reopened).

LXA typically tries to colonize first at campuses that previously had a LXA chapter. However, LXA just recently started a colony WAY up north in Alaska.

I want to see our chapters in all Ivy League schools: remaining four should be recolonized: Harvard, Yale, Penn and Columbia.
(since we're having Brown, Darthmouth, Cornell, Princeton).

We're really picky about putting our chapters in, and I would like to see our expansion to the South and West as well, especially Texas.

Not that we don't have enough AXO chapters in Texas but I want some more as we do really well down here and we have many legacies due to having 12 chapters presently. I would like to see a colony at North Texas and Southwest Texas State. Maybe one in San Antonio at UTSA.

Of course I want all our old chapters to come back, but especially Richmond. Also, I would like us to expand more in Canada. We have 75% active chapters to chapters installed so not too many have closed. I would like to see us stronger in the midwest and western part of the country.

LexiKD · #24 01-09-2002, 10:27 AM

Well, I would love to see KD back at any closed chapter and maybe ASU, NCSU.

I would like to see Wesleyan college in Macon GA let greek life back on theur campus. Both Phi Mu and ADPi were founded there and it would be nice to have our alpha chapter back. I would also like to see Phi Mu in some of the large state schools in the Midwest/West. It would be nice to see some really strong Phi Mu chapters somewhere other than the south.

As prviousally stated, the Greek Organizations want to go onto Campuses that they are welcome onto!

We just reopened Gettysburg and are rumors that there may be ,more! Our International seems to have a plan of recolonizing or opening new chapters to about 5-6 a year! This is a far cry from the olden days of E C and Myself when LXA and TKE were vieing to grow the fastest. Many have been lost to the handling of the chapters and because of the schools.

It is such a shame because we have the most to offer to the individual to learn more than just getting grades. Our members learn how to cope with the after life of college! Standards of grace and working with people and doing in the community.

Hell We are the Best of the Best!!!!

Rumor (?!) has it that a Wesleyan president's daughter years ago tried to get into a sorority but didn't get into any group...so she commited suicide. He got rid of the sororities after that. Probably a urban legend...

I'd like to see the colonization of the Hawaii Alpha chapter of Pi Beta Phi at UH/Manoa, and heck, let's put Hawaii Beta at Hawaii Pacific! And I'll be very glad to go out and help any way I can!

Hey there!!!

I would love to see Sigma Kappa at any and all Ivy League schools. We were at Cornell once, but that closed a while back. I believe we just opened a chapter at the U of Penn. or are in the middle of doing so...which is great!

Also, I'd like to see us at the universities around NC. We are currently at NCSU and UNC-Charlotte. So that leaves, Chapel Hill, Asheville, Greensboro, Wilmington, East Carolina, etc. I'd like to see more chapters in Flordia as well.

It would be beyond awesome if we could reopen our Alpha Chapter at Colby College in Maine, BUT they no longer have a greek system.

In keeping with Carnation's theme, I say that we all have an NPC convention in the Bahamas and some of us will stay after the fact to develop chapters there!
