The entire setup for each night was incredible! They definitely invested in the colonization but I'm sure it paid off. My favorite part was the Panhellenic members helping to bring home the women on Bid Day and celebrating with them. That's true partnership!

So as everyone knows, St John's-Staten Island closed. However, the 2 IFC chapters Alpha Phi Delta and Kappa Sigma were moved to St John's-Queens campus. I do wonder what happened with the Theta Phi Alpha members if they transferred to main campus.

Theta Phi Alpha had chapters at both the Queens and Staten Island campuses. I am guessing that the active members of the SI chapter were allowed to affiliate with the Queens chapter.

Sigma Sigma Sigma had a chapter on the Staten Island campus, but not the Queens campus. I was hoping that the chapter would move to the Queens campus, but, so far, it does not look like that happened.

Kappa Sigma has been closed at Virginia Commonwealth University. Closure is due to RMF and hazing allegations.

It looks as though Ceres International Sorority, an agricultural-based organization, has disbanded. The organization was down to two active chapters, University of Wisconsin-Plattville and South Dakota State University.

In an article about the SDSU chapter closing, it says that the international organization had also closed. There is no longer an active website or FB page for Ceres International.

Awww. It definitely filled a niche. I wonder how Sigma Alpha, the other ag sorority, is doing? I know there are chapters in this state.

Alpha Phi's re-establishment at University of Rhode Island will be in 2025 via the URI Greek life page. Sigma Phi Epsilon will also be returning in 2025.

From Alpha Phi IHQ's Facebook, about 200 members were welcomed at the University of Arkansas! Big congrats to the new chapter!!

Well, that certainly sucks.

Middle Georgia State University has opened for NPC expansion. This would be the first NPC organization.

I hope this is for the Macon campus as that would be very special for Phi Mu and ADPi.
ZTA had a chapter at Wesleyan also.

Alpha Xi Delta will close their chapter at the end of the academic year at Oklahoma State due to low numbers.

Always sad to hear a chapter closing. I heard that members were triple and sometimes quadruple recruiting during recruitment.

Man that’s tough. I had seen their recruitment #’s go down over the years in the recruitment threads. Hopefully they can come back on soon.
