Expansions

Has anyone heard if the nod for expansion at FIU went to Sigma Kappa or Tri Delts?

Well, Alpha Gamma Delta and Alpha Phi also presented so it could be them as well. Formal announcement of who was selected won't be made until April 1st.

I was unable to attend the presentation you and AGD made, but my sisters were enamored with it to the point I wished I had been able to make it!

I'm just happy that Sigma Kappa is still expanding. I would love to have another Florida chapter to join the 1 we currently have.

Also, I'd love for us to get selected at NYU since we will be presenting there as well.

Who else is presenting at NYU?

That's some tough competition. I think it helps that we have strong chapters at peer institutions in the region, like BU, MIT, and UPenn. UPenn is one of our strongest chapters, and they are fairly young! Plus, the closest chapters we have to NYC are Rutgers and Hartford, so any willing alumnae (and in a big city like NYC, I'm sure there are a lot) could focus solely on that chapter.

Then again, the other three can say the same thing. Oh I hope we get it! It would be totally sweet to colonize at NYU!!

The official word came out of national today. We will be colonoizing in the Fall, probably Sept. We are really excited down here. It will be great to have a local chapter! I am the president of the Miami (SE FL) Alumnae Chapter.

Now we have to wait & see if we got NYU as well. I hope so. We currently have 2 SK chapters in New York. It would be great to add one at NYU as well.

Fredonia and Geneseo are in western New York (essentially another state), so it'd be nice to have a chapter in New York City.

I'm hopeful and eager to hear who was selected by NYU. They made (or have made since I'm on the West Coast) their selection tonight but won't release the name of the GLO until the GLO itself discloses it. How exciting.

Not that this may make any difference but I was curious about this information.

Sigma Kappa - 2 collegiate & 3 alumnae chapters in New York.

Gamma Phi Beta - 5 collegiate & 3 (maybe 4?) alumnae chapters in New York.

Kappa Kappa Gamma - 5 collegiate but I don't know how many alumnae chapters there currently are in NY.

Pi Beta Phi - 3 collegiate & 6 alumnae chapters in New York.

Sigma Kappa is presenting at the University of California, Irvine this month.

I will be attending both the alumnae banquet and the presentation to provide all my support. YAY!
October 29th and 30th are the dates. Woohoo!

Also presenting are Kappa Delta and Phi Mu.

lavendarlace · #13 10-18-2008, 01:19 AM

I didn't see it updated...so I thought I would add the new NYU GLO is Pi Beta Phi. I was hoping for Sigma Kappa...I'm sure our time will come! I hope we have better luck at the other campuses where we present!

I just wanted everyone to know that FIU's new chapter of Sigma Kappa is going great =] My name is Michelle and I am one of the founding sisters down here!

I would like to congratulate the Sisters of Sigma Kappa on your receiving the votes to expand at UCI. May you have a fantastic and successful recruitment and expansion.
