Including our Alpha, Beta, AND Gamma chapters - does that count as three for the purposes of the list?

I don't think we are counting colleges that disbanded Greeklife. Hunter college would qualify as well.

Wasn't that due to a ban on Greek life? That's not the only campus that has banned GLOs. I do hate it for Sigma Kappa, though, since that's their Alpha chapter.

Emory has 7 inactive and 7 active chapters.

Since we're a similar campus atmpshere to Emory, I thought I'd throw Washington University in St. Louis in here:

Washington University

Kappa Delta Theta Beta 2013

That's 9 inactive chapters to 8 active ones. However, our Panhellenic community has kind of exploded in recent years, and we just welcomed our third new chapter in ten years this spring when Kappa Delta colonized.

This thread totally fascinates me. I love history and things like this.

[AOII Angel]

I'll add it.

I suspect other colleges should be included.

I hope you don't mind if I update this with Phi Mu colonies (in pink).

[irishpipes]

Phi Mu is coming back to U of I? I never heard that announced. Congratulations!

Also, is Phi Mu colonizing at Wash U or the Unversity of Washington? I thought it was the latter.

[AOII Angel]

No problem. I just used what was on irishpipes thread and she obvi hadn't heard. Will those be recolonizations or new chapters?

Thanks, I try to keep up with some of these things. First, I want to say "whoops" as I apologize irishpipes. I didn't realize Washington University was different from The University of Washington. I would never intentionally get those mixed up as I hate when outsiders refer to Penn State as "Penn" when that's the ivy league school in Philly. I'm sure it annoys those students too. We are going to The University of Washington.

AOII Angel, we are returning to the University of Illinois (our Delta Beta chapter). I know certain GCers on here will be excited to hear that! Also, I'm proud to say that the Michigan State University re-colonization is of our very own National President's chapter, the Delta Nu chapter of Phi Mu. As a Phi Mu initiate of PSU, I'm excited to see us continuing to expand in the Big Ten! This is going to be an exciting next few years for us!

[happilyanchored]

Don't worry about the mix up, most of us are used to it by now. I'm still asked by family and friends how cold it is in Washington or if it was exciting to experience the election first hand in D.C. The Student Union actually sells t-shirts that say "It's in St. Louis Dammit!" as a fundraiser.

However, I hope our panhellenic community continues to experience this growth and we do get to add a new chapter in the future. The Greek system here is really supportive and it's been great to see Kappa Delta thrive in the few months they've been on campus.

Colby College was our Alpha Delta chapter. We had a lot of fun chanting, "Alpha Delta, Colby College, Waterville, Maine!"

Okay, we were easily amused...

There are SO many Phi chapter alumnae in St. Louis who would really, really love for that to happen, and for that chapter this time to be Gamma Phi. But even if that doesn't happen, I'm thrilled for all the WUSTL students who have been able to experience such an invigorated greek system in recent years. So different from what it has been in the past!

Oh, and for AOII Angel, thank you for your hard work on that list! Not to be nitpicky, but University of Missouri's nickname is with two Zs, not Ss. So it's Mizzou.

While I'm not a panhel insider by any means, pledge classes have been growing pretty steadily from what I've gleaned from chapter/panhell sisters. We were actually told to expect a smaller pledge class last year and were pleasently surprised when we ended up getting one that was one person larger than my pledge class (spring '12). What's interesting is that, doing the math with a friend the other day, we realized that approximately HALF of all freshmen girls go through recruitment. Given that WashU is not known as being a particularly Greek school, this totally floored us. If the interest in Greek life continues at this pace, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if another chapter was added this decade.

And I have to say, I would kind of want to root for Gamma Phi Beta. My best friend from home is a Gamma Phi, and I can understand how special it would be to recolonize a single-letter chapter. My only concern would be where another chapter would have their suite. The Women's Building is full to burst and they already had to kick someone out of a suite I believe in order to free one up for Kappa Delta (there were one or two non-sorority organizations with suites so one of those had to leave). Which suite was Gamma Phi in when you were there? I think we're in the old Alpha Chi Omega suite, next to Alpha Phi's on the back side of the building, but I'm not positive.

(And just a fun thing for anyone intersted: my chapter is about to celebrate its 100th year since its charter, the second one on campus with Pi Phi's Missouri Beta centennial in 2007. Again, while I never seriously think of WashU as a Greek-heavy school, it certianly has quite the history!)

LOL...will fix that. Mizzou hasn't been in the SEC long enough for me to pay attention.
