Congratulations to Beta Theta Pi on chartering three colonies at their General Convention:

Elon University(NC)
Worcester Polytechnic Institute(MA)
Florida State University (recharter)

And the last one has fallen. Alpha Phi at Harvard has voluntarily voted to suspend to follow Harvard's social policy.

Man, F.O. Harvard.

I am following for an update on the Penn State Chapter of Phi Mu. I thought they had overcome all of the issues from 10-12 years ago and were doing good. Very sad if it has closed.

This chapter is NOT listed on the Phi Mu website chapter locator.

It's not listed on Penn State's Panhellenic website either. I think those two pieces of information tell us that the chapter has closed.

Sigma Alpha (agricultural sorority) - New Mexico State University

Theta Xi - Colorado Mesa University

Phi Delta Theta has closed its chapter at Northwest Missouri State University. Closure is due to low membership numbers. The fraternity plans to recolonize in 2020.

Per the NPC extension bulletin below, the local Alpha Xi Gamma was looking to affiliate. Kappa Beta Gamma colonized in 2018 and this local sorority is no longer listed on the TWU greek life website. I assume that the local affiliated with KBG.

Also, the NPC Extension Bulletin below may answer some of your questions. The timeline and application process for a few of the extensions are occuring now or during Fall.

UPB has been open for literally years and no one has bit. I don’t see this ever happening.

Somebody choose these two! Great campuses!

ABAC has 3 national fraternities (Kappa Sig, AGRho, and a Latino group) and Sigma Alpha national ag sorority.

If memory serves: someone previously posted here that the University of Memphis is restricting NPC colonies at UMemphis-Lambuth to make sure no NPC group is allowed to be at BOTH campuses.

From reading IP's Lambuth and Memphis listings: the only NPC recolonization allowed by Memphis, from Lambuth, at UMemphis-Lambuth would thus be AOII (if they were even interested) with no guarantee of any additional NPC desiring a new UMemphis-Lambuth colony.
