Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia's national headquarters, Lyrecrest, is in Indiana but not Indianapolis. It is in Evansville -- it wound up there because a long-time, part-time Executive Director was on the faculty (or administration) at University of Evansville and basically ran the Fraternity out of his office and his home. Then the chance to purchase the house and 13+ acres (which include a pond and an oil well ) which are now Lyrecrest came along. More adjacent land has since been purchased, and new buildings have been bought or built.

I know that a few years back, there was actually an organization of GLO's with HQ's in Indiana.

BTW, did any GLO's HQ, other than Phi Mu Alpha's, sustain any damage in the earthquake that hit Indiana a few months ago. We actually had some major damage -- the floor of the store room, where lots of merchandise waiting to be sold was kept, collapsed. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Alpha Gamma Delta's IHQ is also on Founders Road. Dont know the history of when and why though.

Actually, NPC and the NIC are both in Indy!

Also the Association of Fraternity Advisors [AFA] (the professional organization for Greek advisors) was in Indy. They just moved last week down the road to Carmel.

NPHC is headquartered in Indiana also at IU-Bloomington; as well as the Center for the Study of the American College Fraternity, and Lambda 10.

I think the main reason is definately the tax breaks, but also it is centrally located. Their is a large airport, and it's easy to get in and out of for Headquarter's Staff, Consultant's, etc.

Of course, I think there is plenty of things to keep you busy socially also.

It's no Chicago, but it is a fun city still the same!

Ive never done any research on why Kappa Alpha Theta is in Indy, I just always figured it was because we were founded in Indiana. How many other chapters Headquarters are in Indy were founded in Indiana?

[erniegurl00]

I'm probably wrong, but isn't Alpha Chi the only other organization that was founded in Indiana that has its headquarters in Indiana as well?
