Duke University expansion
I just thought everyone would be interested to know that Duke is adding a sorority. Zeta Tau Alpha, Kappa Delta, and Sigma Kappa were invited to present. ZTA gave its presentation Monday night, KD goes tomorrow (Wednesday), and SK goes next Monday. Those three sororities were chosen because they all have had chapters here in the past that closed/went inactive for some reason.
As a side note, we currently have on campus (in case you were wondering):
ADPi
DDD
PiPhi
KKG
KAT
DG
APhi
AOII
Chi-O
We have spring recruitment so presumably the new chapter will be selected by then and can participate in recruitment. Another side note is that our current chapters range everything from ~35 (Alpha Phi -- they were reinstalled on campus 4 years ago) to ~70 (AOII) to ~120 (Tridelta) so a new chapter should make recruitment even more interesting.....
ZTA was the last chapter to leave Duke. SK and KD were both here from the 1920s (I believe) to the 1960s I think, but ZTA was here from the 1930 to the 1980s. Phi Mu also made a brief appearance on campus. With the exception of Alpha Phi, the other chapters have all been here since their founding (which in our case (ADPi) was 1911).
I'll keep you posted! I might go to the KD presentation tonight...we'll see if I have time.
