He's familiar enough to announce that he couldn't find a comprehensive list of NPHC chapters.

Enough of the excuses.

(1) Kappa Kappa Gamma 109, (2) Delta Gamma 99, (3) Pi Beta Phi 97, (4) Kappa Alpha Theta 95, (5) Delta Delta Delta 90, (6) Chi Omega 89, (7) Alpha Chi Omega 87, (8) Alpha Phi 74, (9) Kappa Delta 64, (10) Gamma Phi Beta 61, (11) Alpha Delta Pi 57, (12) Delta Zeta & Sigma Kappa 44, (14) Zeta Tau Alpha 40, (15) Sigma Delta Tau 38, (16) Alpha Omicron Pi 37, (17) Alpha Epsilon Phi, Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Xi Delta & Phi Mu 31, (21) Phi Sigma Sigma 22, (22) Delta Phi Epsilon 16, (23) Sigma Sigma Sigma 13, (24) Alpha Sigfma Alpha 8, (25) Theta Phi Alpha 4 & (26) Alpha Sigm Tau.

(1) Sigma Chi 117, (2) Sigma Alpha Epsilon 112, (3) Sigma Phi Epsilon 110, (4) Pi Kappa Alpha 95, (5) Kappa Sigma & Lambda Chi Alpha 85, (7) Phi Delta Theta 84, (8) Sigma Nu 83, (9) Beta Theta Pi 79, (10) Alpha Epsilon Pi 78, (11) Phi Gamma Delta 74, (12) Delta Tau Delta 70, (13) Tau Kappa Epsilon 69, (14) Alpha Tau Omega 66, (15) Phi Kappa Psi 64, (16) Theta Chi 57, (17) Kappa Alpha 56, (18) Pi Kappa Phi 54, (19) Delta Upsilon 52, (20) Delta Chi 50, (21) Sigma Pi 49, (22) Sigma Alpha Mu 48, (23) Phi Kappa Tau 39, (24) Alpha Gamma Rho, Delta Kappa Epsilon & Zeta Beta Tau 37, (27) Delta Sigma Phi 35, & (28) Chi Phi & Phi Sigma Kappa 33.

Among the sororities, it appears that Alpha Epsilon Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma & Sigma Delta Tau have the highest percentage of their chapters at the more elite institutions. With the fraternities, Alpha Gamma Rho, Delta Tau Delta, Delta Upsilon, Phi Gamma Delta & Phi Kappa Psi have the highest percentage.

Okay, I know I'm late to the party but I HAD to say something to this. You have no idea what you're talking about here. Sororities don't just go for the same type of school. AST was founded as a TEACHING SORORITY - we primarily chartered chapters at teaching schools. So did Tri Sigma and others. You do NOT have the right to tell me that my sorority is the 'worst' sorority because we share the fewest campuses with Phi Beta Kappa.

[SWTXBelle]

Don't feel bad - the fact of the matter is that Phi Beta Kappa criteria are one, and only one, way to judge a school. The problem in ranking schools is that it is so hard to come up with objective measures which everyone will agree to - witness the controversy every year when U.S. News & World Report and Newsweek announce their rankings of schools.

He said that? I think you can tell him why he's wrong based on what he actually wrote.

He said that the chapters at those schools have "the brightest students that we would all want in our organizations." So I suppose he didn't say it in the words I did, but he might as well have.

Perception is reality. In this case, it just underscores what a "boneheaded" idea for a thread this was in the first place.

Both the NPC & NIC make available lists of each campus and which of their organizaitons are on it. That makes reports such as this far simpler. Does anyone know if NPHC has such a list? If it is available I will be more than happy to revise the list to include those groups...and multi-nationals if those are available. I realize that it may look like I attempted to slight some groups, Actually I was only working with material available. I am right now trying to assemble a list of all chapters of NPHC groups and, despite what some peolpe are saying, it is not an easy task. If there is a complete and concise list for your organization please advise where I can find it so that your information is not omited in the future.

The chapter lists for Delta can be found by going to each region's website and accessing the chapter lists from there. With so many chapters, it makes the most sense to split them up this way. Links to each regional website can be found on the national website here.

oldu, since you referrenced this thread in your other one, I got inspired and read through all nine pages of this one. I'm not sure if you know how the NPC expansion process works, but we can only expand to schools that have declared themselves open to expansion. It does not matter if every student there has a 4.0, is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and a Rhodes Scholar- if the campus is not open for expansion, no NPC sorority will colonize there.

[Low C Sharp]

if the campus is not open for expansion, no NPC sorority will colonize there.

But that doesn't make matching of NPCs to campuses random. It's not.

The Delta Sigma Theta site does not have a complete listing of chapters. Only part of the regions have a current chapter list. However, even those that do make no mention of several chapters listed in old Baird's Manuals which means either there is a substantial number of inactive chapters or that even those lists are not complete.

Huge fraternities Kappa Sig & TKE have a complete list of all chapters ever chartered and whether they are active or inactive. Slightly smaller Sigma Pi goes one step farther and gives a short history of each chapter. It sure would be helpful if every fraternity and sorority provided that type of information on their site.

Those in Baird's not listed on a regional site could be a: retired, b: inactive, c: or suspended. Baird's does not trump our own records.

Was he asking for clarity because he was confused or was he trying to school us eventhough knowledgeable members gave him the direction he requested?

oldu:
The Midwest Region is the only of our 7 regions that I could not find a chapter listing on their site. The other 6 have an easily found chapter listing and only 1 of these regions does not list the college/university name beside the chapter designation. These lists are accurate, as ladygreek stated. Good luck.
