They have this really funny shirt that says: (front) Chemists do it on a table...(back) Periodically (with a periodical table on the back).

The site says there have been 90 chapters chartered with 50 active. It was founded in 1902 at the University of Wisconsin! Although they are a professional fraternity, they also operate as a social organization. At Penn State, they have a house!

They were started at UW! They have a big plaque in the entrance to the chemistry honoring them, which I think is cool. I like seeing a university honor a GLO.

They have a house here, too, where they offer free chemistry tutoring. (I took them up on this a lot prior to my MCAT.)

Wow! That is really cool! Hey, would you mind telling me about the MCAT? My boyfriend, the AXE member, is planning on taking the MCAT. He wants to do a graduate program in Science before going to medical school.

I also like to see when schools honor GLOs. I think there is something at the school where Phi Mu was founded honoring both Phi Mu and Alpha Delta Pi. Anyone care to verify that?

Sigma Alpha is not coed, at least not according to their website.

Phi Kappa Pi (Clios) http://www.geneseo.edu/~clio/ , I believe they are regional as well..on SUNY campuses

Same for Alpha Omega Epsilon. According to their website - "Alpha Omega Epsilon is a professional and social sorority composed of female engineering students and alumnae."

Sigma Phi Lambda is another Christian national sorority, and they have a lot of chapters around Texas that I know of. Here's their wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma_Phi_Lambda

(I couldn't get the www.sigma-phi-lambda.com site to work for some reason.)

Other smaller sororities that I can name off the top of my head would be multicultural ones like Kappa Delta Chi, alpha Kappa Delta Phi, and Theta Nu Xi. I'm not sure if they pertain to this list or if they're in another council or not, but there they are.

I know Kappa Delta Chi does not pertain to the list, they're a NALFO (national council for Latino GLOs) organization. Theta Nu Xi is one of the largest multicultural sororities in the country, but they're not in the NMGC (national council for multicultural GLOs). alpha Kappa Delta Phi is one of the largest Asian sororities in the country, but isn't in any national councils that I know of.

Some professional fraternities/sororities may not always advertise that they are co-ed. But legally, they must allow both female and male members due to Title IX.

ETA: A member of Sigma Alpha confirmed that they do allow both female and male members.

From info on the internet, Phi Kappa Pi (Clionian Sorority) was founded in 1872 at Geneseo State Normal School and had 7 chapters in NY. Clionian Sorority dissolved nationally in 1954, when all fraternal organizations in the SUNY system were forced to go local. Two chapters of the old Clionian Sorority still exist today (at SUNY-Geneseo and at SUNY-Postdam), but they have never become re-affliated.

Theta Alpha is a new Christian sorority that is expanding regionally across Florida and into Georgia. They already have 2 established chapters. I read about them in the Up and Coming GLO section of Greekchat. Website is www.thetaalpha.org

[ask_bm001]

Alpha Sigma Kappa- Women in Technical Studies is interested in expansion. However, it is very difficult for numerous reasons. I think the biggest though is who we pool from for membership. Because we are pulling women from technical fields (architecture, engineering, mathematics, and the sciences) we start with a limited pool. Then, at least in my experience, the women in these fields are generally not interested in greek life, or at best only have an indifferent opinion of it. Partly this is because they are motivated in what they want to do, but also b/c they generally aren't the "pretty" girls of the sterotypical image of sororities.

I know there is a larger interest for this group than what I've been able to see at Oklahoma, but we are seriously overshadowed by the large NPC and IFC presence. (e.g. no matter how hard we try, we are still hidden)

There are several different Alpha Sigmas, as it seems to be a popular name, but this Alpha Sigma has 4 chapters. I should have included the webste when I posted it the first time.

Alpha Sigma has four different chapters in NY- Brooklyn College, Hunter College, Baruch College, & St. Francis.

That would be me.....

Founded in 1971....13 chapters and 2 colonies and you can update it to the North East area with the addition of 1 chapter and 1 colony in PA. We are actively looking to expand into NJ & MD as well. Our national website is KappaDeltaPhiNAS.org (the one you have is one hosted by our Kappa Sigma chapter)

Although we are affiliated with Kappa Delta Phi Fraternity Inc. We are a seperate national organization with our own Executive Director, Board of Director's, Constitution & By-Laws, etc. We host our annual convention in conjuction with Kappa Delta Phi Fraternity although our General Business Meetings & Board of Directors meetings are held seperately. We co-host a joint Awards Banquet as well as an Alumni Cocktail Party at our annual conventions.

p.s. I love that I found this sight and all of this information is so readily available. Thank you to all who have put the effort into gathering it!!!!
