Speaking of Penn State:

Per a National IG post on 10/12/23, Alpha Sigma Alpha re-installed their Gamma Eta chapter at Penn State University. 38 women were initiated (head count).

They will be forming a charter class in the spring. More information via SMU Panhellenic.

I just came back from our Founders Day lunch. The President of our Gamma Phi Beta chapter at SDSU shared that the chapter picked up some 160 new members at fall recruitment and that total is over 300. (Don't quote me, I didn't quite catch the exact numbers.)

She added that, due to the huge new member class sizes, Panhellenic is currently looking to add either Chi Omega or Tri Delta or both.

Eight NPC chapters seems too few for this campus with those types of numbers. Chi Omega was there until 1995 but it seems that this would be first time that a Tri Delta chapter was on campus. UC San Diego would be the closest university that has both chapters.

Stony Brook University(NY) is open for NIC expansion. From the wording on the website, they may be open for expansion in all groups (NPHC, MGLO, NPC, NIC), but it was not quite clear. I do know that they are open for NIC.

I'm excited to see how Stony Brook unfolds. There are only 4 IFC chapters and 3 NPC sororities (with Theta Phi Alpha being on suspension.) The sororities have totals around 90, and the new member totals for the chapters were in the 20's, so a new sorority would be good.

As for SDSU, it would be interesting if they decide to do a stacked expansion rather than just adding an extra chapter. I can't wait to see who presents!

Alpha Kappa Alpha has established the first sorority at Georgia Gwinnett College.

Alpha Sigma Omega Latina Sorority has established a new chapter at Marquette University(WI).

Lehigh University(PA) has invited Pi Lambda Phi to re-establish in Spring '24 and Pi Kappa Phi to establish in Spring '26.

I believe the University of South Carolina - Columbia has or will soon vote on opening for NPC expansion. Not too surprising, as quota was 143 this past fall. I understand there is an on-going issue about their Greek Village needing to be expanded, so currently there are 2 NPC groups w/o a house.

I don't know how AGD and Pi Phi will manage without housing. Rumor has it that AZD may also be losing their house sometime soon. I don't know how they can add more groups if there's no housing for them.

Sigma Sigma Sigma will be returning to Costal Carolina University in Fall 2024!

Per WVUfraternities IG post (West Virginia). During Fall 2023, Phi Kappa Tau colonized with 47 pledges and Delta Sigma Phi colonized with 21 pledges.

Also per this post: Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI) is returning to campus Spring 2024 and Beta Theta Pi is returning to campus Fall 2024

[PKT4LIFE]

Per our news article "Phi Kappa Tau Flourishes-A Remarkable Growth Update", we will be returning to St Louis University (Epsilon Upsilon) and will re-activate at Arizona (Epsilon Tau) during Spring 2024.

NOTE: Our Arizona chapter never closed (charter pulled), it went non-active for a year.

Why would they lose their house? They have plenty of members to fill it.
