Who is your most frequent competitor?

Thanks Leslie Anne!

Leslie Ann,
I think you meant to type University of Ottawa for Tri Delta. The chapter is located at the University of Ottawa in Ontario, Canada.

Yeah, I've noticed that there are some errors but I didn't know about those specific ones. Thanks.

Does anyone know if Irishpipes plans on updating her list?

Ottawa!!! LOL I kept looking at it and thinking that Ohawa was a strange name. Like I said, I had to try to decipher my own chickenscratch. Thanks for catching that. I'll go and fix it.

That's my chapter! I never could figure out why everyone at Conventions/RLCs thought it was so weird we were the only NPC on our campus, but now I see why. There are several locals on campus, as well as CERES, Sigma Alpha, and Sigma Alpha Iota, but it's not quite the same.

Leslie Anne, I wonder if you'd be willing to list which schools have only one chapter. Pretty please?

I can think of quite a few reasons.

Here is the overlap for Sigma Kappa. I found it interesting that we don't have one main "competitor", like Kappa and Theta are with each other, or ASA and AST, for example. I don't think it is surprising that Chi O and DZ top the list, since they have the most chapters, although, coming from UMD, those wouldn't have immediately come to mind, because we don't have Chi O or DZ and we have 4 toward the bottom of SigKap's overlap list (AEPhi, DPhiE, Phi Sig, and SDT). I guess Sigma Kappa just has chapters at all kinds of different schools.

CHI OMEGA: 49
DELTA ZETA: 49 (HuskyAlum got 47)
ALPHA CHI OMEGA: 41
ALPHA DELTA PI: 41 (match with honeychile)
DELTA GAMMA: 41 (match with dukedg)

KAPPA ALPHA THETA: 27 (oldu got 26)
PHI MU: 24 (carolina blue got 23)
ALPHA XI DELTA: 22 (match with oldu) Soon to be 23 with AXiD coming to Illinois in Fall 08!
SIGMA SIGMA SIGMA: 19 (KSUViolet got 18)
ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA: 19 (match with cuteASAbug)
SIGMA DELTA TAU: 17
PHI SIGMA SIGMA: 14
ALPHA SIGMA TAU: 13

The colors must have taken you a long time.

Yeah well, it takes a while to figure out the overlap, so why not pretty colors?

[Leslie Anne]

I'm all for pretty colors! (and you get special kudos for using "gold" instead of "yellow")

Interesting range of "competitors" - I think it definitely speaks to Sigma Kappa's well-rounded diversity.

The top 7 that Alpha Chi Omega "competes" with are the other 7 sororities at my school!

You all might laugh at me, and it took me working in short bursts for about a week, but I made one. It has the active chapters from Irishpipes' list in spreadsheet form. There is a row for every school, organized alphabetically by state, and 26 columns, one for each NPC.

Anyone who wants the file, just PM me with your email address.

It the openings/closings of chapters all the time, I'm not sure how accurate or up to date that file might be?

The file is based on Irishpipes' list. I made it. I finished it today. So it is as accurate as Irishpipes' list (assuming I transcribed everything correctly).
