Top 5 Chapters You'd Like to see Re-Colonized

Wow. SMSU was huge? I am good friends with a girl who's dad is a major player at that university. Never knew we were that big (or even had a chapter there). And we were in school in the mid 1990's.

According to their spring 2008 newsletter they have around $230,000 socked away, and that's without any fund raising yet. Not bad.

I'd like to see a recolonization at my alma mater, RIT. This was the Mu Zeta chapter of which I was initiated in 1998.

Its been awhile since this topic has been visited so I thought it might be interesting to see what people think in 2010.

I am from the Dallas area so I would like to see some of the local chapters back up and running.

1 SMU - Iota Theta

2 TCU - Lambda Epsilon

3 North Texas - Zeta Omicron

Also I would like to see HQ focus on reopening/colonizing at schools that are near existing chapters. I always felt that there was a lot of missed opportunity from chapters helping other chapters.

I'm hoping to be part of the recolonizing process for the Zeta Omicron chapter. I'll find out if I am come September

Best of luck. UNT was once a very strong chapter.

I'm sure you've heard that the Eli Young band is composed of Sigma Nus from Zeta Omicron.

I'd like to see Oklahoma recolonized, but that's already going to happen.

Kevin, I heard it was going to be to on the heels of a capital campaign and new house there. Any truth to that? Their old battleship is in a really nice area, but is being surrounded by some truly impressive mansions making it hard to compete (geez, that new Fiji house is insane).

My information is that they have basically completed their capital campaign.

BOOMER SOONER - Can't wait for them to get back on campus!

FYI, Looks like Delta Iota is finally returning at Washington State and will be moving back into that humongo mansion.

So, they are going to split their lot and sell half of it to ATO for a pretty penny ($700k). I don't think that lot is big enough for this monstrousity below as well as another house.

Sigma Nu would need their whole lot to fit this thing on it:

I just did a facepalm at their inclusion of a balcony.

Just read the new Delta, and it had some interesting listings for "future colonization"
- Univ. of Oklahoma (Delta Epsilon) is already being mentioned.
- Univ. of Texas (Upsilon) going to make another go at it? This one seems very difficult due to the limitations on housing there (location, and ridiculous real estate costs/taxes).

ETA NU! (University of Louisiana at Lafyette). It's my dad's, uncle's, godfather's chapter that were pulled for hazing back in 2006 but we have petitioned and will be getting our charter back in mid-November! Can't wait to call those great men above my brother and fellow knights

I got an email on December 20th that the Kappa Epsilon chapter (Appalachian State University) will be recolonizing after being closed in 2009, which is awesome, since they're our big brother chapter.
