2020/2021 New Chapters/Expansions/Charters/Closures

[LaneSig]

Right off the bat, this is going to be an interesting year. Many new colonizations that were planned have been delayed.

As members of Greek organizations, we all want to see Greek Life expand, grow, and succeed. As alumni, we should all be giving support to new chapters. We should cheer and support Greek organizations that are not our own.

This year we have all heard "We'll get through this together." As Greek members, let's truly believe and hold this statement true.

Best wishes to all the new chapters in the coming year.

I heard that Villanova is open for NPC expansion for Spring 2021. I'd think that may change because of COVID, but its out there.

[Cookiez17]

That could be interesting. They have several orgs that could recolonize or bring a new one. The last sorority to come to that campus was Alpha Gamma Delta in 2013.

DU is recolonizing at Purdue this fall, it looks like Delaware and Nevada are on hold due to Covid.

[FSUZeta]

Thank you Lane.

A casualty of the Abolish Greek Life movement - per NPC Chair Carole Jones - Gamma Phi Beta at Northwestern has voted to return their charter.

[carnation]

Do some GLOs just let the current members turn in a charter? It seems like the national IHQs would have something to say about that.

[JayhawkAOII]

I agree Carnation! But there does seem to be some type of autonomy available.
