Union College KY

Since I'm originally from Barbourville, KY (where Union is located) and my mother, aunt and uncle went to Union I thought I'd comment. Union has never had IFC/NPC/or locals in the last 40 years if ever to my knowledge. This school has just under 600 undergrads in a town of 3,000. Most of the students I would classify as commuter students.

Pi Kappa Alpha colonizing at U. of Minnesota

Apparently the Pikes still own a house near campus, according to the article in the October 13 '06 Minnesota Daily. That might make a successful return to the school a little easier.

I doubt it because Gamma Phi Beta was colonized about a year or so ago, something like that

Congratulations to your brother's chapter. Alpha Sigma Phi has really been growing by leaps and bounds for the past couple of years. They seem to be really concentrating on expansions.

Sidenote: Do any of you ladies know how Alpha Chi Omega did at Univ. of West Florida? or how Sigma Delta Tau did at Pace University? I believe they both had their expansions within the last 2 months.

Rutgers initiated 35 men into the mystic circle .

Sigma Chi coming back to University of Oklahoma.

For the record--In July 2005, Pres. Boren at Oklahoma University sent a letter to Sigma Chi HQ inviting the Beta Kappa Chapter of Sigma Chi to return as a "recognized Student Organization" after January 17, 2006 upon completion of six state requirements. In February 2006, after completing 5 of the 6, and on the eve of commencement of the 6th, he changed his mind (after 17 presidents of the other on campus fraternities complained) and re-scheduled the chapter's return as a Student Organization for the spring of 2007 and return to the Chapter House for the fall of 2007.

Possible NPC Expansion at U. of Southern California (USC)

The college Panhellenic is supporting a local sorority at the U. of Southern California that wants to become a chapter of an NPC group. Reportedly the local is especially interested in either Alpha Epsilon Phi or Sigma Delta Tau. The local regards those sororities as being most closely aligned with the values and emphases of the local. An article in student paper mentions the proccess that will be followed to seek affiliation with a national:
