It looks like we've gotten a few on our wish list over the past couple of years. We've had recolonizations at both Duke and Northwestern and will be recolonizing our Michigan chapter in Fall 2009.

What other schools would you like to see ZTA at?

I'd love to see ZTA recolonize our chapters at Ole Miss (although that would be an uphill battle), University of Kentucky (Kentucky is the only Southern state that we don't have a chapter), Illinois, SMU, Arizona, UCLA, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Syracuse and Southern California.

I'd love to see a ZTA colonize a chapter at Emory, Furman, Wake Forest and Vanderbilt.

How about all of the above? I too would like to see us back at Ole Miss and OK especially and I think we'd do well at Vandy I also think some out west chapters would be good since we've already saturated the south pretty well, lol.

Interesting to note Kentucky doesn't have any ZTA chapters. I think this would be a great state to expand into considering all the surrounding states have chapters. I also like the idea of expansion/recolonization in Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Minnesota, Arizona, and Colorado would be nice to have chapters in. Interesting to note that convention is being held this year in Arizona and we have no chapters there.

Since it's close and very well regarded, I would love to see a ZTA chapter at William and Mary. If there was sufficient alumnae support, I would also like to see us expand further into NY.

I'm on the local housing board for the Omega house at SMU so I'd love to see our chapter come back there. We're working hard to put things in place (2010?!) but it really does depend on the campus & other NPC groups there.

I second that W&M. I'm actually kind of surprised we don't have one there considering VA is where we were founded and W&M was there long before Longwood!

I certainly would LOVE to see us expand here in the Empire state. But I don't know of another alumnae group other than the NYC, Buffalo, LI & Rochester (according to the website at least). A group mid-state might be a good idea, lots of colleges btwn here and Rochester!!

I would be thrilled to see the U of Penn rechartered. I would be first in line to help out there!! Also Syracuse in upstate NY. If PA gets one more chapter will be beat out TX for most active chapters!!

i would vote for any and all of the campuses you all listed and would add washington and lee, rhodes college(where we had a chapter long ago) and rollins college(located in orlando)-oh, and i think that we need some more chapters in california and the pacific northwest.

ZTA in Ky

Hello Zeta Sisters,
I pledged the Alpha Chi chapter at the University of Kentucky in the fall of 1990, initiated in February of 1991, and became an Alumna in May of 1991. The chapter closed at the end of the school year in 1991. From what I was told Zeta tried a couple of times to recolonize at UK, but didn't have much luck with each of the recolonizations. We didn't make quota, which other GLO's did during formal fall rush. In 1991 a decision was reached to de-activate the chapter. I cannot begin to put into words how this broke my heart. I never had a little sister, a candlelight, held an Executive Position, and missed several other experiences that other collegiates had. In 1991 there was an agreement between ZTA and UK that once another sorority on campus (PM me to learn which one) had successfully met quota during 3 consecutive formal fall rushes, then ZTA was to be considered for recolonization. Guess what? This other chapter also left UK, and to the best of my knowledge, there hasn't been any additional discussion about re-activating the Alpha Chi chapter.

I would like to see us recolonize at UK, hopefully it will happen when the time is right, Zeta will have the support of other GLO's, and we will have our house back.

~A Kentucky Zeta

As someone whose chapter at another SEC school was closed under similar circumstances, I know how you feel.

However, I have to believe that IO holds ZTA's best interests at heart. And, as much as I can selfishly wish that we could successfully come back, I know that it is not in the best interest of ZTA as a whole.

To Mill and Tippie, I cannot imagine how disappointing that must have been And though I wish ZTA could recolonize at UK, Mill, Tippie has a good point and good attitude about it. Yeah, it sucks we closed those chapters, but look at all the links we've added to the chain! And in the next year or so we'll be starting on Lambda chapters! Though it's sad your chapters closed, there are many brand new ones to be excited about.

When ZTA looks for an area to colonize, I think our main criteria is alum support. Having a strong alum base is a huge necessity if a chapter is going to survive. I think this is the main reason why ZTA has concentrated on colonizing specifically in Florida, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia. We have a lot of alum support in these areas.

I'm going to guess that we don't have a big alum base in New York but I could be wrong.

It would definitely be nice to see a ZTA chapter at NYU. We have a lot of chapters in New Jersey and I'm sure they could help out!

Russell- I didn't know we had a chapter once at NYU. Do you happen to know when it was closed?
YEAH IOTA PSI BABY!!!!!!!! 213 WHAAATT!!!!

Haha anyway, my vote is for University of Buffalo!! I have heard of people wanting to colonize there and how cool!! My chapter would get to be the initiators? I guess it would be called, or the big sister chapter. It would be nice to have some more ZTAs in NY, I mean don't get me wrong we can hold it down haha but it would be nice

The NYU sorority system had completely disintegrated by the late 70s. Starting in the 80s, sororities, mostly locals started to pop up. One of the locals recently affiliated with AST. There are still 4 locals. The greek life web site is: http://www.nyu.edu/pages/osa/greeklife/org.html
I think he went to FSU. Hasn't posted on GC in ages...
